Catalog Transfer Process
Transferring a large catalog of releases to InterSpace Distribution follows the same principle as a single release transfer — but requires more planning.
Step 1 — Export Your Existing Metadata
Before you start, obtain a full metadata export from your current distributor including:
- All release titles, artist names, and track titles
- All ISRC codes for each track
- All UPC/EAN barcodes for each release
- Original release dates
This information is critical for maintaining streaming history.
Step 2 — Prioritise Your Catalog
Start with your most important and active releases. Transfer your best-performing releases first so they are live on InterSpace sooner.
Step 3 — Re-Submit Each Release
For each release:
- Create a new release on InterSpace using the exact same metadata
- Enter your existing ISRC codes for each track
- Enter your existing UPC barcode for the release
- Submit for review
Step 4 — Wait for Approval
Our team reviews each release within 1–2 business days. Once approved, delivery to DSPs takes 3–5 business days.
Step 5 — Remove from Old Distributor
Only after each release is confirmed live on InterSpace should you remove it from your previous distributor.
Step 6 — Update Your Links
Update SmartLinks, social media bios, press kits, and any promotional material with new links.
