Symphonic Introduces StreamSafe in the SMS

Here’s the rundown…

StreamSafe is our new tool in the SMS designed to give you full transparency into artificial streaming activity and help you protect your revenue as an artist. With it, you get features like:

• Flagged Tracks // Instantly see which tracks in your catalog have been flagged for artificial streaming by DSPs. No more guessing — get clear insights into the status of your tracks.
• Stream Analytics // View detailed data on artificial stream counts and the percentage of total streams affected. This helps you understand the full impact of fraudulent streams on your releases.
• Status at a Glance // Easily check if your account is clear of artificial streams or if there are any issues that need attention.
• Month-to-Month Tracking // Monitor trends and changes in your streaming health over time. With month-to-month stats, you can spot issues early and strategize for the future.

Why does all this matter?

Imagine pouring your heart and soul into creating music, only to see your revenue disappear because your streams were flagged as fraudulent. Streaming fraud, or artificial streaming, happens when bots or click farms artificially inflate stream counts to manipulate charts or increase payouts. DSPs are increasingly detecting these behaviors and taking actions such as freezing royalties or removing tracks entirely.

This doesn’t just hit the pocket — it hits the reputation. Even worse, it can happen without the artist or label even knowing about it until it’s too late…

That’s where StreamSafe comes into play. With StreamSafe, you get the transparency you’ve been missing. No more guessing games or sudden shocks when your royalties don’t match your expected revenue. StreamSafe makes it easier than ever to see if any of your tracks have been flagged for artificial streaming by DSPs.
