Every headline satisfies an opinion. Except ours.

Remember when the news was about what happened, not how to feel about it? 1440's Daily Digest is bringing that back. Every morning, they sift through 100+ sources to deliver a concise, unbiased briefing — no pundits, no paywalls, no politics. Just the facts, all in five minutes. For free.

Where Instrumental Talent Finds Its Audience

Whether you're an independent artist, an avid music curator or digital label, InstrumentaList makes it easy for expanding access & reach for your music endeavors.

Hi all! For this week’s newsletter, we wanted to share some of the community recommended resources with you all!

Explore them in the growing Resource Library here. We’re planning to partner with a music distribution group (e.g. Distrokid, CDbaby or TuneCore) to offer reduced pricing to our community members when buying a single / album ahead of release - if you had a preference on a particular distributor, please let us know which one!!

Have other tools or suggestions that could benefit the community, please recommend them via reply email!

Other areas to explore:

Our team has built a verified database of ~5K top active curators across a variety of instrument categories (expected to grow to ~10-15K this Spring)… To our PRO users, you can gain early access here! We’re also building the industry’s first “one-click pitch” tool to make track/album releases that much easier & gain the attention of top curators!

Have you checked out the latest playlists? Check them out here on the InstrumentaList Dashboard - we recently integrated with Apple Music & expect new playlists added in early 2026!

Did you see the continued backlash against Suno AI? Article here for reference…InstrumentaList has a strict no bot & no AI generated music policy… we leverage AI tools to more easily connect human artists to high quality playlists run by human curators across the globe. That is our mission & one we’ll always be inspired by. A few of us in the community probably remember the Napster & Limewire days well! 😀

To those that run digital labels - what resources or automation tools are you using to serve your artist base? Use PRO to make everything easier!

Have a wonderful Friday & weekend friends! To those in the U.S., enjoy your March Madness season!!

Musically yours,
