Frequently asked questions
Short, factual answers to the questions artists ask most often before signing up. If your question isn't here, contact support — we're quick.
What is Nursil Music?
Nursil Music is a music distribution platform headquartered in Dubai that helps independent artists and labels release their music to Spotify, Apple Music, Anghami, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and 150+ other streaming and download platforms worldwide. We specialize in serving artists from the MENA region and Arabic-language creators, but we work with artists anywhere in the world.
How much does Nursil Music cost?
The Nursil Music Artist Account is $25.05 per year, VAT-inclusive. That flat fee covers unlimited single, EP, and album releases for the year. There are no per-release charges, no hidden platform fees, and no commission on your streaming or download royalties.
Which streaming platforms does Nursil Music distribute to?
Nursil Music delivers releases to Spotify, Apple Music, Anghami, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Tidal, Boomplay, and more than 150 additional platforms and stores worldwide. The full list is available on our services page; coverage includes every major MENA-region platform as well as global services.
Does Nursil Music work with Arabic artists?
Yes — Nursil Music was built with Arabic-language and MENA-region artists in mind. We support Arabic metadata, track and artist names, ensure correct script rendering on all partner platforms, and maintain strong relationships with regional services like Anghami. The site is fully available in Arabic at nursilmusic.com/ar/.
How long does it take for my music to appear on streaming platforms?
Most releases go live within 2 to 7 business days after our quality-control team approves the submission. Spotify, Apple Music, and Anghami typically process deliveries fastest. You can set a future release date during upload to coordinate a specific launch day.
Who owns the rights to my music after I distribute through Nursil Music?
You retain 100% ownership of your masters, compositions, and all intellectual property in your music. Nursil Music is a non-exclusive distribution service — we deliver your music to stores on your behalf, but we never take rights, shares, or ownership. You can remove your releases at any time.
When do I get paid for my streaming royalties?
Streaming platforms report earnings to distributors on a rolling monthly cadence — typically 60 to 90 days after the month in which the streams occurred. Once royalties reach your Nursil Music dashboard, you can request a withdrawal to your preferred payout method. Payout turnaround varies by method.
What is Nursil Music's royalty rate — do you take a percentage?
We take 0% commission on your streaming and download royalties. You keep 100% of your earnings. Our revenue comes from the flat $25.05 annual account fee, not from your music's performance.
Are ISRC and UPC codes included?
Yes. Nursil Music automatically generates and assigns free ISRC codes to every track and UPC codes to every release. If you already own ISRC or UPC codes from another source, you can use those instead at no extra charge.
Is Nursil Music available outside the UAE?
Yes. Nursil Music is headquartered in Dubai, UAE, but we accept artists and labels from anywhere in the world. Payments, payouts, and support all operate internationally.
What audio file formats does Nursil Music accept?
We accept lossless WAV files as the primary upload format — 16-bit or 24-bit, 44.1 kHz or higher, stereo. Cover art should be a square JPG or PNG, at least 3000×3000 pixels, under 10 MB. Specific format requirements are shown on the upload screen during release submission.
Does Nursil Music offer services for labels?
Yes. Nursil Music supports label accounts that manage multiple artists, with per-artist revenue splits, artist invitations, and label-level analytics. Contact us for label onboarding — the standard artist signup form does not cover label-specific setup.
Can I remove my music from streaming platforms?
Yes. You can request takedown of any release from your dashboard at any time. Takedowns typically complete within 2 to 7 business days across partner platforms, though some stores may take longer due to their internal processing.
How do I contact Nursil Music support?
Email support@nursilmusic.com or use the contact form. For signed-up artists, the in-app Support Tickets page in the dashboard is the fastest route — it attaches your account context automatically so we can respond without extra back-and-forth.
Is distribution really unlimited per year?
Yes. With an Artist Account, you can distribute as many singles, EPs, and albums as you want within your annual subscription period for the single flat fee of $25.05. There are no per-release charges or volume limits.
