How Do I Take Down My Music from My Previous Distributor?

  • Updated

Once your Too Lost releases are live and merged, you’ll need to submit takedown requests directly through your former distributor.

Before requesting takedowns from your previous distributor, it’s important to wait until your releases are live on Too Lost and your streams, playlists, and data have successfully merged across platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This ensures that no streams or playlist placements are lost during the transition. 

Below, you’ll find links to guides with step-by-step instructions on how to request takedowns from various distributors.
