Frequently asked
questions.
What does Ambler do?
Ambler is a music metadata registration platform for record labels. It helps you register your releases, tracks and works, and every contributor's credits, in one place — then delivers validated, ready-to-submit files to the collection societies and publishers that handle royalty payments. A couple of the labels we work with estimate it saves 4–5 hours per person, per release.
Who is Ambler for?
Ambler is built for independent and mid-size record labels and the artists, songwriters and producers they work with. Whether you manage a handful of releases a year or hundreds, Ambler gives your whole team one shared registration workflow.
What makes Ambler different from other music registration tools?
Ambler brings labels, artists and contributors into one collaborative workflow: everyone confirms their own credits and splits before any data is submitted. And it's neutral by design — Ambler doesn't release music, collect royalties or act as a publisher, so it has no stake in the data it handles.
How is Ambler different from a distributor?
Distributors deliver your recordings to streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Ambler registers your releases, works and contributor credits with collection societies, so performance, mechanical and neighbouring-rights royalties can reach the right people. They do different jobs, and you need both.
Can my artists and contributors use Ambler?
Yes. Artists, songwriters and producers get their own app, free of charge, where they confirm their credits and splits. Most contributors confirm in under five minutes.
What does Ambler cost?
Ambler is free for artists, songwriters, producers and contributors. Labels can start with a 3-month trial through our Design Partner Programme, then 50% off the first year.
How do I get started with Ambler?
