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

  1. Drag files onto the upload area (or click to browse)
  2. Files upload in parallel with progress indicators
  3. Add metadata while uploading or after
  4. Set tags, pricing, visibility
  5. 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

  1. Create a project first
  2. Upload all tracks
  3. Drag to reorder
  4. Set album-level metadata
  5. 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.
