Earlier today Spotify notified participating artists about their final decision to close the beta program that gave them an easy way to add tracks to Spotify with just a few clicks.
Now, artists are being given until the end of the month to transition to another distributor, and will only be paid for streams on their uploaded content through July 2019.
From Spotify blog:
“Thank you to the artists who participated in our upload beta. We’re incredibly proud to have played a small part in the music they released. Spotify wouldn’t be what it is today without artists and labels who are willing to collaborate with us to build a better experience for creators and listeners. “
Participating artists are referred to the FAQ page for more information
