What limbo/Distribution
actually does

limbo/Distribution delivers your catalog to digital service providers through a DDEX-native pipeline. It packages releases as DDEX ERN, validates metadata before delivery, and ships on limbo/'s direct DSP contracts plus Merlin Network access, with per-DSP and per-territory controls.

↗
Direct + Merlin

Own contracts with the major DSPs and Merlin Network access for the rest. No re-aggregation layer between your label and the platforms.

DDEX-native, validated

ERN 4.3 and 3.8.2, selected per platform. Metadata is validated before queueing; broken submissions fail fast with line-level reasons, not silent rejections.

⌖
Controls + privacy

Per-DSP and per-territory targeting, scheduled releases, takedowns and updates. Royalty data stays inside limbo/, never shared with majors.

FAQ

Distribution,
answered

What is the limbo/Distribution block?

limbo/Distribution is the Music Block that delivers your catalog to digital service providers. It runs DDEX-native delivery on direct DSP contracts plus Merlin Network access, with metadata validation, per-DSP and per-territory controls, scheduled releases, and full takedown and update handling.

Which DSPs does limbo/ deliver to?

limbo/ delivers to every major platform, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, TikTok, Meta, TIDAL, SoundCloud, Qobuz, Beatport, Deezer, Pandora, Boomplay, Anghami, Tencent Music, Audiomack and 7digital, plus regional DSPs that are continuously added. See each platform page for details.

Are limbo/ DSP deals direct or through an aggregator?

Both, by design. limbo/ holds its own direct contracts with the major DSPs and reaches the rest through Merlin Network access. There is no extra re-aggregation layer, so delivery is cleaner and your royalty data stays inside limbo/.

What DDEX versions does limbo/ support?

limbo/ delivers DDEX ERN 4.3 and 3.8.2, selecting the right spec per platform. Metadata is validated before queueing, so broken submissions fail fast with line-level reasons instead of silent rejections downstream.
