Hi Everyone.
How do you upload music? Is there any instructions which tell you this and the types of file that can be uploaded.

Hi -
There are several ways to get to where you can upload a new song - once you are signed in, there will be a link at the top of the site called "MY ACCOUNT" - once that page loads - you should see a button with "Upload a Song" on it - you can also look in the My Account menu on the side of that page, clicking on "Music"
If you don't see these, you are either not signed in, or do not have an artist account. If you want your account changed to an artist account - just ask.
Once you are on the Upload a Song page - you should see a button in the right corner of the site that says, "View Page Help" - if you click on this, you'll see all the info you need concerning song uploads.
To help save you the trip - here is the general information:
1. your song must be encoded as a stereo mp3.
2. if you do not have an upgraded account, the mp3 must be 128kbps or less
3. if you want a LoFi/preview version, it must be MONO 32kbps 44100 sample rate.
4. be sure to fill out the ID3 tags before you upload. If you do not, we provide a tool which allows you to set these from our site.
5. Each song can have an icon that should be a JPG and 60px X 60px
6. Songs can be assigned a copyright, or a Creative Commons license.
If you do not have your songs encoded as mp3s, locate an mp3 encoder online, there are many for free - try download.com if you aren't sure where to look.
Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you very much for your informative article. I have a user name and password but I gather a proper account is more than that. Anyway I will make a print-out of your instructions and sign up for a real account.
