How can I use my AI data and music files to build my own distribution setup on Mac mini?

Hi Support Team,

In today’s world of generative AI, many music distribution companies are now using artist data—including songs, lyrics, and metadata—to train AI models without getting proper consent from independent artists and bands. This is deeply concerning, and it’s forcing many of us to leave these platforms to protect our rights and creative work.

I would like to create my own music distribution system—one where I stay in control of how my data and music are used. I have an Apple M4 Mac Mini running Logic Pro, and I want to know:

1. **How can I use my AI data and music files to build my own distribution setup?**

   I’m looking for a solution where I can manage streaming, downloads, and licensing without giving away my data to third parties.

2. **Can you recommend which Apple computer or setup I should use if I want the power of something like NVIDIA’s Spark AI hardware?**

   I don’t have coding or technical experience, so I’m looking for the easiest and most powerful Apple-based setup available today that’s future-ready for working with AI tools and agents.

3. **How can I use AI agents in the future to help automate parts of my music business—like marketing, publishing, or distributing music—without giving up control?**

Please provide a simple explanation or a step-by-step guide so I can begin setting this up myself. My goal is to build something sustainable and private that supports my music career without relying on platforms that misuse my work.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Lincoln
