WB Digital by Western Beats Private Limited is India's most trusted and 100% free music distribution platform, officially backed by Warner Music India. Distribute to 150+ platforms including JioSaavn, Gaana, Spotify & Apple Music. Earn royalties from every stream, we only earn when you do. Always free to distribute.
Western Beats Private Limited was founded with a single, bold mission: to give every Indian independent artist access to the same distribution power, platform reach, and industry credibility that only major labels once had, at zero cost.
We watched talented artists get trapped paying annual subscriptions to foreign distributors like DistroKid, TuneCore, and CD Baby, platforms built for the West, with little understanding of the Indian market, Indian platforms, or Indian artists. We knew there was a better way.
That's why we built WB Digital: India-first, artist-first, and backed by the partnership that changed everything: Warner Music India.
The same Warner Music India partnership that works with artists like Armaan Malik, Diljit Dosanjh, King, and Darshan Raval, now powers every independent artist on WB Digital.
“Where Independent Meets Major.”
WB Digital is India's only free distribution platform with an exclusive Warner Music India backing, a partnership that no other distributor (DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, Ditto Music, Believe, Orchard, Mad Verse, or Fore Vision Digital) can match.

Six principles that set us apart from every other music distributor, and the reason artists trust WB Digital with their careers.
Unlike DistroKid, TuneCore, or CD Baby which only offer distribution, WB Digital is a complete music company, giving you everything you need to build a sustainable career.
Comparing WB Digital vs DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, Ditto Music and more? We answer it all.
WB Digital is India's #1 free music distribution platform by Western Beats Private Limited, officially backed by Warner Music India. Unlike DistroKid, which charges $22.99/year (₹1,900+) with no India-first focus, WB Digital is completely free, prioritizes JioSaavn and Gaana, delivers music in 48-72 hours, and carries the credibility of Warner Music India, something no other distributor offers.
Distribution is completely free: ₹0 upfront. No annual subscription, no per-release fee. WB Digital earns only when you earn — there are no upfront costs and no annual fees. Compare: DistroKid charges $22.99/yr, TuneCore charges $14.99 per release, CD Baby charges $9.99 per release AND takes 9% of royalties. With WB Digital, there is no upfront risk — you only pay (via revenue share) when you earn.
TuneCore is US-built and US-focused. WB Digital is built specifically for the Indian music market. WB Digital distributes to JioSaavn, Gaana, and more with priority, costs ₹0 upfront (TuneCore costs $14.99/release), is backed by Warner Music India for major-label credibility, goes live in 48-72 hours (TuneCore takes 7–10 days), and provides India-based artist support. Your royalties flow directly to you with no upfront fee.
WB Digital wins on every metric for Indian artists: Price (₹0 upfront vs $9.99/release), Royalties (direct to you vs CD Baby taking 9% AND charging $9.99/release upfront, making WB Digital more cost-effective), India-first distribution (WB Digital has JioSaavn and Gaana priority), Warner Music India backing (CD Baby has no equivalent), and go-live speed (48 hrs vs 5–7 days). CD Baby has no dedicated presence in the Indian music market.
Yes, and we prioritize them. WB Digital distributes to JioSaavn, Gaana, and all major Indian platforms, along with Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, Deezer, and 140+ more global platforms. Our Warner Music India partnership gives us priority placement on Indian DSPs, something DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, Ditto Music, and other foreign distributors cannot match.
WB Digital is officially backed by Warner Music India (@warnermusicindia), one of the world's three major record labels. This means major-label credibility on your releases, priority placement on Indian streaming platforms, access to WMI's network of playlist curators and industry contacts, audio quality standards that match major-label releases, and faster processing on platforms. No independent distributor in India, not Ditto Music, Believe, Orchard, Mad Verse, Fore Vision Digital, or anyone else, has this exclusive partnership.
WB Digital delivers your music to streaming platforms within 48-72 hours. Compare that to: DistroKid (7–10 days), TuneCore (7–10 days), CD Baby (5–7 days), and Ditto Music (3–5 days). Our 48-72 hour turnaround is possible because of our direct relationships with all major platforms and our Warner Music India partnership.
WB Digital pays your royalties directly to your bank account. We only earn when you earn — never upfront. Compare: CD Baby takes 9% AND charges $9.99/release; Believe takes 15–30%; The Orchard operates on revenue share. WB Digital costs ₹0 to start, and we only earn when you earn. That's fully aligned with your success.
Absolutely. You can migrate from any distributor: DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, Ditto Music, Believe, or any other. Contact us at contact@westernbeats.com or DM us @wb_digital_ on Instagram and our team will guide you through the migration at zero cost. Your existing ISRC codes and metadata are fully portable.
No, we are a full-service music company. WB Digital offers Music Distribution, Event Management, Talent Management, Audio Production, Video Direction, and Analytics & Strategy. We give independent artists access to major-label resources, the kind of support that DistroKid, TuneCore, and CD Baby simply do not offer, all under one roof and all at a fraction of the cost.
Stop paying DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, or Ditto Music. Switch to WB Digital, India's #1 free music distribution platform, officially backed by Warner Music India. One upload. 150+ platforms. 100% ownership always yours. ₹0 upfront. We only earn when you earn.
