- The ISRC is the 12-character code your distributor gives each recording. Dashes and lowercase are fine: they're tidied up when you save.
5. Upload your audio
Open Audio file and click Upload an audio file
MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, OGG and more, up to 250 MB.
Check the tags, then click Process & upload
Wherever the file has no tag of its own, the title, artist, year, genre and ISRC are filled in from your Track Page. Add anything missing (album, track number, BPM). WAV, AIFF and ALAC are stored as lossless FLAC (the same quality, and it plays in every browser). MP3s stay MP3 with your tags written in.

- Your audio is private. Only you and the curators or stations you submit to can play it.
6. What's measured for you
Open your Track Page and scroll to Details and Audio analysis
Measured from the file itself: Tempo, Key (with its Camelot code for DJs), Loudness in LUFS and whether it's in the typical streaming range, Danceability, and Sounds like:, the styles detected from the audio rather than your tags.
