ReverbNation Questions & Answers

Stay far far away from this site...

If I were you, based on all the reviews here on this site I would simply shut down my account with them completely! And, as someone suggested, contact Paypal and have them block the merchant from further charges! Then, move on to another music service with a better reputation, like SoundCloud! You can also do a Google search on "list of websites like SoundCloud! I know they will treat you right! In the end, if the folks who run this website don't honor the artists who perform on it then just don't honer them with your money! Stay clear!

Another classic example of them playing games with users. It used to be there was no file size not allowed. Then they allowed it but required a monthly fee - via their plans which are a joke - to upload larger higher quality files.

Only if you want to loose money. They will gladly take your money but you won't see any result from it.

Good question. I don't think this happens from experience. My first release was with Reverbnation, a single which bafflingly was released as an album for $19.99 or whatever it cost. Possibly my fault, didn't hurt me as an artist though as my 1 album single was on iheartradio, spotify and itunes and many other distributers I wouldn't have picked. I since learned about the $1 singles so have made a few releases with that for reverbnation - I've pulled a few singles on Reverbnation and Tunecore and have never received a refund of any kind, nor would I expect to. Reverbnation do credit the money back if you pull the release pre-distribution I know that. Maybe try routenote, I release a lot with them on there 'free' model they do take a cut of the royalties though on that plan - I like that flexibility though to be able to pull and re-release tracks.

As the reviews here warn, RN isn't interested in maintaining a reputation for integrity, As long as they get your money, the future be damned.

Another example of the junky setup they use. It could have a cleaner more functional look but doesn't for free users. If you buy the premiere premium plan it's simpler to use and that's crap for us.
