We want to show you how to upload music to Spotify if you have an album a singol an EP you want to get out there.

In this blog we're going to show you how to upload your music to Spotify and the other music streaming services, so you can start making money, and how to up lode music to Spotify that you want to listen locally.

A buzz kill right of the back you can't up lode music to Spotify and other music platforms your self you need a distributor the reason they do this is so that they can control the submitions so that the music has the right format.
If you want a music distributor we'll recommend checking out Distrokid, tunecore, cdbaby.

So you can upload to these you need:
-the CD art (1500x1500px or 3000x3000px)
-your music format that's going to be a 16 file format
-fill up the song data
-pick which music streaming services do you want to upload to, you can pick all or jest some.

After this you jest need to wait between 2 and 5 days so that the music is uploaded depending on the music streaming service, for Spotify you can go to your Spotify for artists dashboard to see your upcoming music, you can log in there every day after you uploaded it because it's going to pop up there first before it gets to Spotify, what's good is that you can release that song to official Spotify curators, it's a free submission and grate way to make your music listened to it more.

If you want to know how to upload to Spotify locally so that you can listen to it and it's not going out on the internet you want to go to your account and go to the top to preferences and inside preferences go down to local fails and click on show local fails and turn on local fails preferences, then go to local fails and click on add a source, and you can save your demos.
