GBBest Independent Distributor I switched from Distrokid. The first thing that caught my attention was the UI (something that Distrokid does not do well). It looks clean and feels professional. The next thing was the price. It’s literally CHEAPER than the most popular distributor, yet so much better. The opportunities for playlisting, extra customization of releases, and dedicated support staff sealed the deal. Hands down the cleanest, best independent distributor.

GBJust started distributing with Too Lost Just started distributing through TooLost but so far it seems like an artist friendly solution. It's rare to have A&Rs reach out and take the time to explain transparently everything that an independent distributor would offer. Dan has helped me understand all of the features and explained how to use everything. It's cool how much the team is willing to do to help pitch and help promote my music if I turn it in on time. Will keep using this platform for my next releases

GBPublishing Agreement Publishing Admin agreement was a foul experience. 'quarterly' payments were made once a year, and chasing up payments/ receipts was like watching paint dry, often waiting up to 6 months for a reply from their help centre.

GBAwful update this year. Toolost were excellent until March 31st 2024. However from April they made a change to subscriptions that meant everyone with a free account was locked out unless they signed up for a paid subscription. They didn't send any info out about this change in advance! When I asked their support if I'd missed the email about this, they told me that they didn't send any emails or any info, just changed it without telling anyone!

GBThe absolute worst distributor that has… The absolute worst distributor that has ever existed. Don't allow the good reviews to finesse you. TRUST ME. If you like to get screwed over and treated like trash, go with this distributor. They mess up so much, explaining how horrible they are would be comic. They've messed up several albums, customer service and client success is really made for the 1% of top generating artists. Guess what... They use the 1% to finesse the remaining 99% of creatives. They lie on PR and talk about how they'll be distributing for certain albums like KANYE. They use already released records that aren't through them and create a hyperlink, just so they could write a PR campaign on it (Basically finessing SEO). I'll never understand why artists lie and act like they do anything... lol they don't do a single thing for you and don't allow me to talk about discovery mode (It's not on your S4A and like Spotify states, they have the distributors that have their access to it. All the remaining ones are liars). Now about how they messed me up... I had 100s of records with them and they NEVER pitched a single record, actually they left my PITCHES BLANK and I know this because I had Label Access at the time (Which they didn't know) and label access allows you to see what's being pitched. They would leave my release pitches empty... Meaning it's impossible to get editorials on ANY DSP. They messed up my album and released it a MONTH EARLY. THEY LIED ABOUT PUSHING PROMO TO THAT ALBUM. THEY LOCKED ME OUT MY ACCOUNT WHEN I COMPLAINED FOR MONTHS ABOUT THEM NOT KNOWING HOW TO LINK THE CORRECT ARTISTS. THESE GUYS SUCK AND THE PERSON OPERATING IT IS A 24 YEAR OLD RICH FUNDED INDIVIDUAL THAT KNOWS TECH BUT NOT MUSIC! They ruined my throughput but now I'm blessed because I'm with a distributor that truly understands my vision. I wouldn't recommend this to my own enemy. I at-least see my enemy as human and NOT A DOG.
