How it works

How limbo/ delivers
to Qobuz

You deliver once to limbo/, by API or dashboard, and limbo/ runs the full Qobuz supply chain on its direct contract. Hi-res masters are validated before they ship.

1
Direct contract

limbo/ delivers to Qobuz on its own agreement, not through another aggregator. Fewer hops, faster fixes, and your royalty data never leaves limbo/.

2
DDEX-native pipeline

ERN 4.3 and 3.8.2, selected per platform. Metadata is validated before queueing, so broken submissions fail fast with line-level reasons instead of silent rejections.

3
Hi-res, handled

Hi-res 24-bit FLAC and lossless masters delivered at full quality, with per-territory controls, scheduled release dates, and takedown/update handling.
