Release your music. Put something real in your fans' hands.
IndiDrop combines physical TapTunes® Instant Music Cards, artist discovery and digital streaming distribution in one release package. Artists apply first, and selected artists are invited to activate an IndiDrop release.
Free to apply. There is no obligation to purchase. Selected artists receive an invitation to activate a release.
Physical first. Discovery next. Distribution included.
Selected artists can activate a release package built around something streaming alone cannot provide: physical music fans can buy, keep and collect.
25 Instant Music Cards
Start with 25 physical TapTunes® Instant Music Cards featuring your release artwork, ready to sell at shows, signings, merch tables or directly to fans.
IndiDrop Discovery
Your release becomes part of the fan-facing IndiDrop discovery experience, giving listeners another place to find your music, learn about you and connect with your release.
Digital Distribution
Release up to 12 tracks to eligible streaming and digital music platforms through IndiDrop's distribution infrastructure.
Print-On-Demand Sales
Your approved card design can remain available for individual fan purchases on IndiDrop, with TapTunes manufacturing and fulfillment.
Artist EPK Page
Get a dedicated IndiDrop artist EPK page that brings your release, music previews, streaming links, artist information and fan-facing content together in one shareable destination.
Retail-Ready Display Stand
Your first card order includes a retail-ready display stand designed to help present and sell your Instant Music Cards at shows, merch tables, signings and other in-person opportunities.
Drop Club
Your eligible release can participate in Drop Club, giving fans another way to discover your music, add it to their physical collection and generate qualifying $14.99 card sales.
No Annual Artist Renewal
You are not billed every year simply to keep an existing IndiDrop release in distribution.
One Release Workflow
Once invited, upload your music, cover art and release information once. The same release powers your physical card, IndiDrop discovery and digital distribution.
Streaming is part of the release. It doesn't have to be the whole business.
IndiDrop helps artists reach the listening destinations fans already use while putting physical ownership back into the release. Your Instant Music Cards create something fans can buy, keep and collect while discovery and digital distribution help your music travel farther.
One fan purchase can be worth thousands of streams.
Streaming is valuable for reach and discovery. Instant Music Cards give artists another way to monetize the fans who want something more.
Streaming royalties vary significantly by platform, territory, subscription type, rights ownership and other factors. Streaming equivalents shown are illustrative comparisons based on an estimated gross revenue range of $0.003–$0.005 per stream.
