Upload the highest quality source you have. Files are stored as-is and streamed in-browser.
Streaming
Audio items get a built-in in-browser player. No app required. Streaming uses your original file — no separate transcoded preview, no quality loss.
File Limits
Per-file size limits depend on your pricing tier: 10MB (Basic), 500MB (Small Files), 20GB (Big Files and Everything). Cover images: 10MB on all tiers.
Batch upload: up to 50 files at once.
Upload Process
- Drag files onto the upload area (or click to browse)
- Files upload in parallel with progress indicators
- Add metadata while uploading or after
- Set tags, pricing, visibility
- Save as draft or publish immediately
Metadata
Required: Title
Optional: Description, genre tags, release date, credits/collaborators, lyrics
Auto-extracted: Title, artist, album, track number, cover art (when embedded in the audio file). Override any auto-extracted value during upload.
Album Upload
- Create a project first
- Upload all tracks
- Drag to reorder
- Set album-level metadata
- Publish project (publishes all tracks)
Downloads
Fans who purchase the item or subscribe to a tier can download the original file directly. No DRM, no device tracking, no per-download fees. Re-downloads allowed anytime.
To offer multiple formats (e.g., FLAC and MP3), upload them as separate versions of the same item.
