**NEW YORK, October 26, 2023** – Sony Music Entertainment announced today a major upgrade to its global music distribution system. This new platform replaces older technology. The goal is to deliver music faster and more efficiently to digital stores and streaming services worldwide.
The upgraded system promises significant improvements. Artists and labels will see their new releases appear on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music much quicker. Previously, it could take days for tracks to go live everywhere. Now, it should happen within hours. This speed is crucial in today’s fast-moving music business. Fans often want new music immediately.
Sony Music believes this technology benefits everyone involved. Independent artists signed to Sony labels get their music out faster. Listeners gain quicker access to the latest tracks. The company also highlighted improved tools for managing music catalogs. Labels can track streams and sales data more easily. They can also fix metadata errors faster.
“Getting music to fans without delay is our top priority,” stated Sony Music’s Head of Global Digital Business. “This new system represents a major step forward. It reflects our ongoing investment in serving artists and partners better.”
