Which of the following is NOT a responsibility of a music distributor?

A music distributor acts as an intermediary between record labels and retail outlets or streaming services. Their primary responsibilities include managing the logistics of getting music to consumers and optimizing the distribution channels. This includes signing deals with record labels, ensuring that there are agreements in place for the distribution of albums, and managing the income stream by taking a cut from each album sold.

Creating new music content is typically the responsibility of artists and record labels rather than distributors. Distributors focus on the delivery and sales process rather than the artistic aspect of music production. Therefore, the other options accurately reflect the role and functions of a music distributor, making the creation of new music content the one that does not align with their responsibilities.
