Pandora FAQ

Why isn't my song on Pandora yet?

Pandora picks what it adds, so not every release is accepted, and reviews can take a few weeks.

Can I get on Pandora outside the US?

Pandora is a US service. Your music is on 260+ other stores worldwide.

Do I keep the rights to my music?

Distributing with Octiive doesn't change who owns your music. You give us permission to deliver it and collect your royalties, and that's it.

Can I move from another distributor without losing my streams?

Yes. Re-upload with the same audio, artwork, ISRC and UPC codes and original release date. Once the Octiive version is live, ask your old distributor to take theirs down.
