Upload each track as a WAV or FLAC file of up to 500 MB. MP3 and other formats aren’t accepted. Upload the final master: what you upload is what the stores receive.

File requirements

​
Upload your audio

  1. Open your release in the builder and go to the Tracks section.
  2. Upload or drop your files. Each file becomes a track, and its file name becomes the track title. Check and correct the titles afterwards.
  3. Drag tracks to put them in order.
To swap a track’s audio before you submit, open the track and click Replace audio under Audio master. Click the play button on a track to listen and check you uploaded the right version.

Upload errors

If an upload stops partway, check your connection and upload the file again.

​
Things to check before you submit

  • The right version. Listen to each track in the builder. A clean and an explicit version of the same song are separate recordings.
  • Explicit content. For a track with vocals, set Not explicit or Explicit to match the lyrics. A track you mark instrumental is delivered as not explicit.
  • No silence or extra material you don’t want in stores, such as count-ins or long gaps at the end.
Once your release is in stores, you can’t change its audio. Check every track before you submit.

Common questions

​
Can I upload an MP3?

No. Only WAV and FLAC files are accepted.

​
Do you check bit depth or sample rate?

The builder doesn’t reject files based on bit depth or sample rate. Upload the master your mastering engineer delivered.

​
A track I already released elsewhere: do I upload it again?

Yes. Upload the audio, then mark the track Previously released and enter its existing ISRC so the streams stay linked. See Previously released music, ISRCs and UPCs.
