What changes
Same music.
Different route.
You keep making and promoting the same music to the same listeners. LEVR manages how the selected catalog is delivered, checked, reported and supported.
Commercial terms, DSP and territory mix, reporting and rights handling can affect what reaches the artist. They can produce a different result, but not a guaranteed one.
The comparison
We compare like with like.
We compare what you take home after LEVR's share with your previous earnings, using comparable releases and reporting periods.
What goes into the comparison
Where reporting allows, we account for DSP mix, territory, reporting period, subscription or ad-supported usage, release timing, and catalog and stream mix. This separates distribution results from changes in listening activity. Any reporting gaps are noted alongside the results.
The delivery route
Know where your music goes.
LEVR coordinates access to professional distribution infrastructure and manages catalog delivery, metadata, reporting and support. The exact delivery route and responsible provider for each catalog are documented before migration.
Before your catalog moves, you receive the delivery route, responsible provider, selected releases and commercial terms in writing.
Catalog migration
Move your catalog with a plan.
Every selected release is reviewed before delivery. The aim is to preserve release identity while reducing gaps, duplicate listings and incorrect artist-page matches.
Identifiers and dates
Existing ISRCs, UPCs, original release dates, audio and core metadata are mapped release by release. They are reused where the release and DSP workflow support it.
Streams, playlists and artist pages
Matching identifiers and metadata helps DSPs associate the replacement delivery with the existing release. Final stream-count, playlist and artist-page continuity is controlled by each DSP and cannot be guaranteed.
Metadata and quality checks
Titles, contributors, rights information, territories, artwork and audio are checked before delivery. Platform pages are reviewed again during the transition.
Royalties already earned
Your previous distributor remains responsible for royalties earned before its delivery ends, under its own reporting and payment schedule. Those receivables do not move with the catalog.
Timing, downtime and duplicates
Delivery and takedown timing are coordinated to reduce gaps and duplicates. Processing times vary by provider and DSP, so zero downtime is an objective, not a promise.
Content ID and social audio
YouTube Content ID claims and audio on social platforms are reviewed separately. Eligibility, claim transfers and matching behavior depend on the rights position, current provider and platform.
