Label distribution to Apple Music
Release your label catalogue on Apple Music and iTunes worldwide.
Apple Music has 108 million paying subscribers and per-stream rates at the upper end of the major DSPs — meaningful even at mid-roster volume. bbn.music delivers stereo masters plus Dolby Atmos where supplied, alongside the metadata Apple requires for its artist pages and Shazam linking. One submission covers both Apple Music streaming and iTunes downloads.

Frequently asked questions
How is Dolby Atmos delivered?
Upload the ADM BWF file alongside the stereo master on the same song. Apple Music streams Atmos to supported devices automatically; the stereo version is used for everything else.
Do releases on Apple Music show up on iTunes automatically?
Yes — Apple Music and iTunes share the same catalogue. A single delivery covers both streaming and paid downloads.
