Does Audio Buss Remove Music After Subscription Expiry?
Quick Answer
No.
Audio Buss does not automatically remove or delete previously distributed music simply because an artist’s subscription has expired.
Once a release has been successfully distributed and made available on supported music platforms, it can continue to remain live unless the artist, label or authorized rights holder requests a takedown, or removal becomes necessary due to legal, copyright or platform policy requirements.
Audio Buss Artist-First Distribution Philosophy
At Audio Buss, we believe artists should continue benefiting from the audience they have built, the streams they have earned and the catalog they have created.
Many artists spend years building:
- Streaming Audiences
- Playlist Placements
- Fan Communities
- Platform Followers
- Release Catalogs
- Search Visibility
Automatically removing music after subscription expiry can negatively affect artist growth and long-term music discovery.
For this reason, Audio Buss follows a creator-friendly music availability policy.

If your subscription expires:
- Previously Distributed Releases Are Not Automatically Deleted
- Existing Songs Can Continue To Remain Available
- Existing Albums Can Continue To Remain Available
- Existing EPs Can Continue To Remain Available
- Artist Profiles Remain Associated With Distributed Content
- Listeners Can Continue Accessing Existing Music
Subscription expiry does not automatically trigger a takedown request.
