Special accounts provide additional features for rights holders to manager their assets onsite and offsite with Orfium

Very Flexible Distribution Settings and Rights Management

All services can be individually opted in/out and customized on a per release basis at any time so the uploader does not have to worry about conflicts with existing 3rd party deals
Uploaders can specify whether they want to make music available for free or for sale
“Follow to download” allows artists to gain followers by making free downloads available only to followers
Sellers can loosen and tighten consumer access policies.
The strictest policy only permits listening to preview clips before purchase.
The loosest policy allows listening to the full version but requires purchase in order to download or save to a playlist
