Soundrop Integration with Spotify Discovery Mode

I am writing to request the integration of Soundrop with Spotify's Discovery Mode. This would allow artists who distribute their tracks through Soundrop to be eligible for this valuable feature. I am unsure if this collaboration requires the efforts of both Soundrop and Spotify or if Spotify has more exclusive partnerships with other distributors.
It is disheartening to contemplate switching to another distributor simply to gain access to Discovery Mode, especially given the excellent experience I have had with Soundrop. I hope that this integration can be explored and implemented to benefit artists who choose Soundrop as their distribution platform.

This is exactly my question and it is now June 2024. Discovery Mode is available for CD Baby music and doesn't CD baby own Soundrop?

Morgan @ Soundrop if you’re interested in enabling Discovery Mode, reach out to your contact at Spotify. Check this article:

I agree with Enrique Lázaro. Soundrop needs to gain access to this for all of us artists. Currently Distrokid, CD Baby, and Tunecore (from my direct experience) are Discovery enabled.

This would be huge! Discovery mode seems like such a huge advantage and, at the moment, it's only limited to certain distributors.

Lucas Cooper: Definitely, distributors with Discovery Mode can be quite beneficial. I've observed how useful this tool is for artists in our area, and Spotify's collaboration with only select distributors provides a competitive advantage for other distributors. However, it remains unclear whether Spotify "invites" distributors to access this feature or if Soundrop needs to collaborate with Spotify to gain access.
