Byta vs.
Watermarked Music Promotion Services

Create. Promote. Securely. Discover.

Sign up today

In order to guard against leaks and piracy, managers, publicists, distributors and record labels of every size need added security when privately sharing pre‑release music. The industry standard is watermarked* audio.

Byta’s well designed platform provides highly secure options for sharing your audio files, including one‑click watermarking*. You can also track your streams and downloads with or without watermarking your audio files.

Promote music securely

Even if you do not need watermarked music, Byta’s features offer you unparalleled levels of security when privately sharing audio files.

Byta’s Protected Links require recipients to log into a Byta account (Free or Paid). Paste links into emails or any other type of messaging service you use and share. Quickly track who is streaming or downloading your audio files.

If you need even higher security, you can always choose one‑click watermarking* for your private music sharing.

Byta is designed specifically for audio files: reading and writing file metadata, converting file formats and delivering fast yet secure streaming.

*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.
