Music project delivery is a collaborative tool developed by MusicTeam® in partnership with Connex. It helps creators, engineers, producers and managers organize, credit and send ongoing music projects with all the metadata, music credits and audio files directly to record labels, thanks to our Connex partnership. Labels receive all submissions in their Connex account without the chaos of scattered files, email chains, or missing metadata.
Music project delivery is built for artists, producers, engineers, and managers already working with a label across recording, mixing, and release workflows. Basically anyone responsible for delivering music professionally to a record label.
Unlike generic file-sharing platforms, Music project delivery is built specifically for music creation workflows. In these platforms, you’d have to provide a link for the audio files and a separate document for metadata and music credits. That’s part of where the issue stems for music credits. In MusicTeam®, we automatically identify different versions (mixes, alternates, new songs), track music credits in each versions and deliver projects to labels in structured, industry-standard formats.
Projects with labels get stalled over missing credits or metadata, version confusion, etc. Music project delivery eliminates these bottlenecks by ensuring your music is properly credited with all the correct metadata and label-ready at any stage of the music creation process.
- Missing or inaccurate metadata
- Credit disputes or oversights
- Redeliveries due to incorrect versions
- Delays in mastering, approvals, or label ingestion
- Upload and organize multiple versions of a song or project
- Easily invite collaborators to help you manage projects
- Maintain a full list contributors and credits for all your versions
- Submit everything your label needs (audio file, music credits, and metadata) from one place
- Access a complete submission history ensuring your label has received the correct version, metadata and music credits

If you’re releasing music independently, we encourage you to explore our all-in-one platform that’s designed to support creators with tools for distribution, rights registration, catalog management, and more.

MusicTeam® is an all-in-one platform that helps creators and professionals take control of their music. By combining catalog management, rights registration, distribution (including immersive audio formats like 360 Reality Audio and Dolby Atmos), and project delivery into one streamlined workflow, MusicTeam® makes it easier to stay organized, collect royalties, and present your music professionally to the industry. Whether you’re an independent artist or an established professional, our goal is to simplify the complex processes of music management so you can focus on your creativity.
Our platform supports both independent and professional users:
Music creators who want to distribute music, manage metadata, and register works without needing multiple services or dealing with multiple portals.
Established professionals such as managers, producers, and engineers who require tools for delivering fully packaged projects, complete with metadata and credits, to partners and labels.
Unlike single-purpose services (e.g., distributors, publishing administrators, or catalog apps), MusicTeam® unifies all the critical steps of music management in one platform. This reduces administrative burden, ensures complete metadata, and prevents lost royalties. Our unique combination of catalog management, rights registration, distribution, and professional project delivery sets us apart as the only truly integrated solution.

Yes. Our blog and help center cover topics such as metadata, copyright, royalties, and catalog management. We aim to make complex industry processes easier to understand for self-releasing creators and professionals alike.

All current subscription tiers and pricing information are listed on our Pricing Page.
No. Royalties from PROs and CMOs (e.g., ASCAP, SOCAN, PRS, BMI) are still paid directly to you by those organizations. MusicTeam® ensures your works are correctly registered with accurate metadata so you receive all payments owed.
Once submitted, releases typically appear on DSPs within 7–10 business days. For scheduled releases, we recommend submitting at least 14 days in advance to allow time for review and delivery.
Only if your previous contract allows it. If you’ve granted another distributor or label exclusive distribution rights, you cannot re-distribute that content through MusicTeam®.

This allows listeners to experience your music with greater depth and immersion, as if they are surrounded by the performance. MusicTeam® enables you to distribute Atmos mixes directly to platforms that support it.
