DDEX bulk delivery details
Catalog holders and rights organizations need efficient ways to transfer large content libraries. Manual uploading of thousands of tracks is impractical and error-prone. DDEX bulk delivery solves this by automating the entire transfer from your existing distributor to StreamPush. The same infrastructure that delivers your catalog to Spotify and Apple Music can deliver to StreamPush. This integration means your streaming catalog stays synchronized with your release schedule without duplicate upload workflows. For content not in your distribution chain, StreamPush accepts FTP uploads as an alternative bulk method. Both approaches eliminate the manual track-by-track uploads that would make large catalog streaming impractical.
DDEX bulk delivery process
DDEX (Digital Data Exchange) is the music industry standard for content delivery between distributors and digital service providers. StreamPush is registered as a DSP, enabling your distributor to add StreamPush as a delivery destination. Once configured, your distributor sends your entire catalog via bulk delivery. The delivery includes audio files, metadata, artwork, and release date information. Initial bulk sync processes your full catalog in one transfer.
Supported distributors for bulk DDEX
StreamPush maintains DDEX integrations with major distributors serving catalog holders and rights organizations. Fuga, Sony Music Entertainment, IDOL, Label Worx, AMPsuite, Kontor New Media, and rightsHUB all support bulk delivery to StreamPush. If your distributor is not listed, StreamPush can often onboard new distributors when client demand exists. Contact StreamPush to discuss your specific distributor.
Timeline for bulk catalog sync
Initial bulk catalog sync typically completes within 24-48 hours after your distributor begins delivery. Processing time depends on catalog size and distributor delivery speed. Large catalogs with thousands of tracks process efficiently without delays. After initial sync, ongoing delivery is immediate as new releases publish through your distributor.
FTP as alternative bulk method
For content not in your DDEX distribution chain, StreamPush accepts FTP uploads as an alternative bulk method. FTP works well for legacy content, promotional tracks, or content from sources outside your primary distributor. You can combine DDEX delivery for distributed content with FTP for supplementary material. Both methods result in content available in your StreamPush catalog.
| Upload method | Best for | Process |
|---|---|---|
| DDEX (distributor) | Full catalog, ongoing releases | Automatic, recommended |
| FTP upload | Non-distributed content | Bulk transfer, manual |
| Direct upload | Individual tracks | One-by-one, dashboard |
