Upload & Release.

Get your music into the boutique. Upload tracks or mixes, then bundle them into EPs and albums — ready to sell on The Music.

🎵

TRACKS

Upload singles for distribution. ACRCloud scan protects your copyright.

ACR Protected
Choose this to upload original music AIF, WAV, MP3 — individual songs you've created. Every track goes through an automatic copyright scan using ACRCloud, and byME generates a unique ISRC code for each one.
🎧

MIX

DJ sets and live recordings. 15-90 minutes, no copyright scan required.

Always FREE
Choose this for DJ mixes — long-form sets between 15 and 90 minutes. Mixes don't get copyright scanned because they contain other artists' work. They're always free on byME and act as promotional content to showcase your mixing skills.
💿

RELEASE

Bundle uploaded tracks into EPs and Albums. Edit prices and downloads.

EP & Album
Once your tracks are uploaded, come here to bundle them into EPs (2–5 tracks) or Albums (6+ tracks). Set bundle pricing and per-track prices, choose download formats and policies, and edit existing releases.

PENDING

Tracks awaiting copyright review or your action.
