I want to start releasing my own music and have no interest in the corporate streaming platforms. I have only a basic conceptual understanding of torrenting but it seems to me like a nice way of sharing my music with people directly.
What do I need to do and consider in order to make a music release freely available in this way?
Currently my knowledge and experience is limited to using an application on my computer to search for and download files from others but I’m willing to learn.

Is Soundrop the distributor you use? I’ll have a look.
Yes. It’s like $9 for a perpetual release. I used Amuse.io before, but they suck you in and hit you with fake fees after you’re on their service.
Ok, thanks for the info 👍 I was looking at their site and it said $1 per release - are there different tiers?
Maybe I’m being dumb and forgot that I paid $9 for the 9 songs on the album. You’re right.
Ok! How has your experience with them, and releasing in general, been?
Totally fine. Mostly DIY, but it’s easy.
