Questions

What is wavbeeOS?

The software wavbee's own distribution business runs on, offered to other music companies. Inside it: catalogue and metadata, store delivery, release review, rights and publishing metadata, royalty processing, payouts, creative tools and a support desk.

How many platforms can the system deliver to?

Reach is a function of the relationships you hold rather than a limit in the software. Through aggregator and partner routes the addressable network runs past 400 platforms and sub-platforms worldwide — including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon, Deezer, TikTok, Tidal, JioSaavn, Boomplay and Anghami — and each account enables exactly the destinations it wants its clients to see.

What is automated release quality control?

An automated pass over a release before it is delivered: metadata checked against the stores' style guides, artwork inspected, and audio analysed for silence, clipping, loudness and misdeclared resolution. It is being built now. Today every release passes the builder's own validation and a person's review before it reaches a store.

Does the platform cover music publishing?

Publishing metadata, yes: writers, publishers, societies and shares are captured on every track and delivered with it. Works administration is the next major expansion — works as records in their own right, society registration through the partners the client already works with, and mechanical and performance income in the same royalty pipeline.

Why choose this over an established platform?

Two reasons. The software is recent: the artist-facing and admin interfaces were designed this decade, not carried over from an older product. And the people who build it also run a distributor on it, so a feature you need is a conversation with them rather than a place in a queue.

Who owns wavbee?

wavbee is independent and is not owned by a major label. Who owns your infrastructure decides who can see your catalogue, and platforms in this market do change hands.

Tell us what you are building.

Whether you are launching a distributor, outgrowing the platform you licence today, or running a label that has become an operations problem — write to us and describe it. We will tell you what fits, what does not, and what is still being built.

Every conversation starts here. There is no price list on this site — what this costs depends entirely on what you need it to do.
