Ambler

Ambler is a music metadata registration platform for record labels, self-releasing artists, and all music creators. It helps anyone who creates music register their releases, works, recordings, and contributor credits — then delivers validated data directly to collection societies (CMOs), performing rights organisations (PROs), and publishers.

Ambler is built by Ambler Tech ApS, a Danish company (CVR 45641821) based in Frederiksberg, Denmark. Founded in 2025 by Alexander Mørch Pedersen (CEO, CPO) and Kristian Mortensen (CCSO).

What Problem Ambler Solves

Most music creators lose royalties because their metadata is incomplete, incorrect, or never submitted to collection societies. Distributors (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, etc.) handle getting recordings onto streaming platforms, but they typically do not register the underlying musical works with PROs and CMOs. That registration step is what determines whether songwriters, producers, and other contributors actually receive performance and mechanical royalties.

Ambler fills this gap — whether you are a self-releasing artist registering your first single, an independent label managing hundreds of releases, or a major label with thousands of releases per year.

All contributors — artists, songwriters, producers — confirm their credits and splits in one shared workflow before data is submitted
Replaces spreadsheets, email chains, and disconnected registration portals with a single source of truth
Scales from solo self-releasing artists to major labels with thousands of releases per year
Free for all artists and contributors — no commissions on royalties

Common Questions

How is Ambler different from a distributor?

Distributors deliver your recordings to streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.). Ambler registers your musical works and contributor credits with collection societies so you receive performance and mechanical royalties. They serve different purposes and are complementary.

How is Ambler different from Songtrust or TuneRegistry?

Songtrust and TuneRegistry are publishing administration tools focused on individual songwriters. Ambler is a registration workflow platform — it handles the collaborative confirmation of credits and splits across multiple contributors, generates multi-standard files (CWR, MWN, RIN), and delivers directly to societies. It works for both solo artists and label teams.

Do I need Ambler if I already use DistroKid/TuneCore/CD Baby?

Yes — your distributor handles DSP delivery (getting your music on streaming platforms), but most distributors do not register the underlying musical work with PROs and CMOs. Without that registration, you may miss performance and mechanical royalties.

Is Ambler free for artists?

Yes. Ambler is completely free for artists, songwriters, producers, and contributors. Labels pay a subscription starting at EUR 99/month.
