Using Byta to store upload, store and distribute the Skunk Anansie archive and current recordings is invaluable.

Direct Shares: Offering simplicity and a higher level of security and insight when privately sharing audio files and streams.
Using Direct Shares helps keep you and your audio files organised, designed for quick and simple audio sharing. Many other file transfer services were not created with music in mind.
When working with audio files, Generic File Services like Dropbox, WeTransfer or Box contribute to disorganized desktops, missing information in iTunes/music libraries and hard drives filled with poorly labeled music files. Music sharing can quickly become chaotic and time consuming.
Share music in the format that your recipients need, lossy or lossless. Byta supports FLAC, ALAC, AIFF, WAV, AAC and MP3 file formats. Choose to upload your lossless audio file and then share it in the required format.
Byta is unrivalled in taking advantage of audio files' unique properties. You can use Byta as a metadata editor, as it can read and write audio file metadata, including ID3 tags and WAV tags. Byta converts file formats on the fly and delivers fast yet secure streaming when you need to share music.
For years the music industry has relied on “Music Promotion” or “Watermark Promotion Services” for private audio sharing of pre-release music to internal and external partners. Watermark Promotion Services have never offered features as fast or secure as Byta does with Direct Shares.
Byta’s Direct Share feature offers you a highly secure and simple alternative to WeTransfer or private SoundCloud links.
*Watermark Music
Watermarking is the process of embedding undetectable information into an audio file in a way that is difficult to remove. If recorded, the information will be carried in the copy, enabling you to track your audio files back to their original recipient.
