To listen to previews you need to have software that can recognize the M3U playlist format. Most computers have this ability built in. If you're using Windows and your computer doesn't play the previews from our site we recommend installing WinAmp 5. It's free and it works great!
By default, Real Player takes over the job of playing MP3 files on your computer but it doesn't handle play them very well. Try installing another player such as WinAmp 5.
We let you preview music at full quality which may be more than your internet connection can handle especially if you are using a modem. Try pausing your player to allow it to buffer more of the sample before you listen.
To the right of the tracks listing you will usually see either a button that says "Band" or the band's name with an arrow to the right of it. Click the button or arrow to see all titles by that band.
The bitrate of a song is how many bits (ones and zeros) it takes to store one second of a song. For example, a song that has a bitrate of 128Kbps takes a little over 128,000 bits per second. Music encoded with a bitrate between 128Kbps and 192Kbps provides good quality while maintaining the high compression ratio that made MP3s so popular.
You need a program to encode your tracks as MP3s. There are many MP3 encoders available to choose from. When you have chosen an encoder make sure it is set up to encode between 128Kbps and 192Kbps for high quality.
When you upload your music we review it to listen for obvious copyright infringements and explicit lyrics. It may take up to 24 hours before we approve it to be listed on the site.
Yes you may upload music with explicit lyrics but please make sure you check the Explicit Lyrics box on the track info page to warn listeners who may be offended.
