What we believe

More than delivery.
A better release workflow.

01

Distribution was solved in 2008. The workflow wasn’t.

Getting music into stores is a commodity. Every platform does it. What nobody fixed is what happens around the upload — the planning, the checks, the rollout, the catalog. That’s where releases still fall apart. That’s what CREWPORT is built to fix.

02

Smart links, presaves, metadata, reporting — in one place.

Most distributors give you delivery and sell you everything else as a separate tab, a separate app, a separate bill. CREWPORT puts the full release workflow under one roof so the work that goes around the upload stops being a second job.

03

Your catalog is yours. Full stop.

Your rights stay with you. Your data stays portable. Your releases don’t get held hostage. The relationship is a service relationship — you keep ownership and control of the work, always.

FAQ

Honest answers
before you join.

Most distributors stop at delivery — they get the file to the stores and call it done. CREWPORT is built around the full release workflow: planning, metadata checks, smart links, reporting, catalog control, and Release with AI — a guided wizard that gets you from a folder of files to submit-ready in minutes instead of hours of forms. Plus a real person who knows your catalog, not a ticket system.
It’s one of CREWPORT’s best shortcuts: a guided Release with AI wizard that turns a folder of WAVs and cover art into a ready-to-submit release in minutes — not hours of form-filling. Point it at your files (or pick audio and cover separately), and it pulls artist and track titles from your filenames, walks you through genre, vocals, roles, and contributors from your roster, and uploads everything into a draft as you go. Match an artist from your roster and roles pre-fill from their card; artist page links sync automatically. When you’re done, stores and countries are set, ISRC and credits are in place, and you get a clean summary card — tweak the release date if you need to, hit Submit for Distribution, and you’re out. Pause anytime and pick up the draft later. Less admin, fewer mistakes, more time for the music.
Every major platform you'd expect — Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon, Tidal, Deezer — plus the long tail of regional and specialist stores. YouTube Content ID, Meta (Facebook + Instagram), and TikTok audio recognition are all included in the same workflow, with no separate tier and no add-on charges.
Yes. You keep full ownership and control of your catalog. CREWPORT distributes your music — it does not take ownership of it, your masters, or your rights. Your data stays exportable so the relationship stays portable.
CREWPORT is designed around control and portability. Your release data stays organized and exportable, and standard catalog migration processes remain available. We don't delete your music when you leave — unlike some platforms that remove your catalog the moment a relationship ends.
No. It's built for independent artists and producers who want a more professional release process — whether this is your first single or your tenth album. No label team required. A separate professional workspace with role-based access and multi-artist management is in development for labels and bigger rosters.
