Do I Need a Barcode to Sell My Music?

Yes. Most music distributors, retailers, and online platforms require a UPC barcode for music releases. A barcode is needed whether you are selling:

- Physical CDs
- Vinyl records
- Digital albums
- Digital singles

Retail stores use the barcode to manage inventory and track sales, while many digital distributors use the UPC to register and report your streams and downloads. Platforms such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other major services typically require a unique UPC for each release.

Speedy Barcodes provides affordable UPC barcodes that are ready to use for both physical and digital music distribution.
