2025 – A Year of Shipping Tools for Your Independence
If 2024 was about setting the stage, 2025 was the year the curtain went up, and stayed up. In 2025 we removed friction, sped up delivery,and gave you more ways to grow. All while keeping you in control. Amuse is one of the few DIY distributors with its own supply chain, no intermediaries in the middle. Except for freedom, that means fewer dependencies, faster builds turnarounds, and full accountability – so you can stay truly independent.
Team Amuse

Release Builder: upload smoother than ever
We rebuilt the release flow to be fast, forgiving, and flexible, so you can publish when the music is ready.
While you absolutely can schedule your release to match your marketing rollout, our Release Asap feature allows you to get music out in under 24 hours. That makes us the fastest DIY music distributor in the market.
Release drafts, start a release and add final audio, assets, and metadata as they come in
AI artwork generator lets you create cover art inside Amuse
You can now use the same metadata for multiple tracks on a release – something we know our members have been longing for!
Hi-res audio distribution
TikTok start time selection
In-app Cover Song Licenses lets you release covers safely across territories
Store Sync, opt in once and deliver your release automatically to any new music store we add in the future
And if something needs fixing, you can now self-serve many audio, metadata, and cover art issues on rejected releases. The smoothest DIY release experience just got smoother.

Managing larger catalogs should feel like a small feat. The new Music Page brings a cleaner UI, pagination, sorting, and support for multiple drafts. You can edit most live releases yourself in the Amuse app.
