Getting your music on Spotify

[DS-10 Dominator]

What's the easiest way to get music on Spotify?

I see you can use any of these aggregators http://www.spotify.com/nl/work-with-us/ ... gregators/

which one is the best? which one is the cheapest?

I've been using RouteNote.

They're far from perfect, but they get the job done. They have a "free" plan where it won't cost you anything for the initial upload, but then they take a certain percentage of the royalties. That suited me better than some of the other sites that take a fee for the upload.

When checking out an aggregator, make sure you read the terms thoroughly - there are some horrible ones out there. For example, some of the aggregators I checked out wanted exclusive digital distribution rights to my tracks. That would mean I could no longer offer free downloads on my website or upload to YouTube/SoundCloud/other sites. Horrible, horrible idea. So be careful.

In any case, the process of getting your music on Spotify is slow. Up to six weeks. Ridiculous.

I was trying record union. They take 10 dollars per release + 5 dollars anually + 15% of the revenue.

AWAL Is based in Sheffield, i looked into them and know a few people who use them, when i last looked at the site everything seems like a bit of a chore to get things sorted.
Just been looking at Tunecore and that looks quite promising, doesn't look too bad for getting CD's made either.
I might put something out myself to trial run it.

Nope. Like I said, I've been using RouteNote.
