This is actually good for artists — distributors handle the technical delivery, ISRC codes, metadata standards, royalty collection, and more. Western Beats does all of this for free.

Go to Western Beats Submit Page
Visit westernbeats.com/submit. Western Beats is a free music distributor — no subscription, no annual fee. Fill in your artist name and contact details to start the submission.
