Spotify and Apple Music have both updated their lists of ‘preferred’ music distributors in recent weeks, with Fuga the prominent new addition to both. The company is now listed alongside The Orchard as a “preferred label distributor” for Spotify, which (in the company’s words) “meet our highest standards for providing quality metadata and protecting against infringement”. Meanwhile, Fuga is now also a ‘Preferred Plus’ distributor and encoding-house partner for Apple Music, joining (for the distributor part of that) Believe Digital, CD Baby, Kontor New Media and The Orchard on the highest tier of Apple’s distributor partners for its streaming service.
