I Uploaded Music on DistroKid Months Ago and It’s Still “Processing” Without Updates

Hello, a few months ago I purchased the most basic plan on DistroKid to release my music on Spotify and other major platforms. I uploaded my track as instructed, expecting it to be published within the promised time frame. However, months have gone by and my release is still stuck in the “processing” phase with absolutely no progress or explanation.
If there had been a technical issue or a problem with my file, I would have appreciated a notification or some transparency. But I’ve received nothing—no email, no warning, no update. It feels like my submission was forgotten or ignored.
This is extremely frustrating, especially as an artist trying to share my work and grow my presence. I paid for a service that has delivered nothing so far. I feel helpless and completely in the dark. I’m urging DistroKid to review my account immediately and resolve this situation. Please don’t continue to ignore your paying customers. I just want the release I paid for to finally go live.

154 I trusted DistroKid to distribute my music professionally, but they let me down in the worst way possible. Every single one of my releases was suddenly and completely removed from all platforms—without any notice, without any explanation. I wasn’t warned, I wasn’t contacted, and I certainly wasn’t r...

135 I uploaded my songs through DistroKid and later decided to change my artist name. The name update went through successfully, but when I checked my songs on Spotify, I noticed a major issue. Instead of updating the existing artist profile, Spotify created a new one under my new name. Now, when I try...
