How Do I Upload Multiple Tracks To Soundcloud?
What are the first steps to upload tracks as an album on SoundCloud?
To upload multiple tracks, go to the Upload page by selecting the Upload button on your top navigation bar. You can either click ‘Choose files’ and select all the tracks you want to upload or drag and drop multiple files into the screen.
What should I be aware of regarding upload space on SoundCloud?
If you are on a free or Artist plan, the remaining upload space on your account will be displayed at the top of the Upload page. If you upload files that exceed this space, you will no longer be able to upload additional tracks unless you delete existing tracks or upgrade your plan.
How does SoundCloud handle transcoding when uploading tracks?
Your files will immediately start uploading and will be transcoded to 128 kbps mp3 for streaming playback. If you want your fans to download the original file versions, you can enable downloads for your tracks. All downloads will be of the original file, not the 128 kbps mp3 streaming version.
How can I add or change playlist information while tracks are uploading?
While your tracks are uploading, you can add additional playlist information. When uploading multiple tracks at once, any information you change or add will apply to all the relevant tracks (except track titles and URLs). If you need to make changes after the upload, you can edit tracks individually or in bulk afterward.
What are the best practices for optimizing your playlist for discoverability?
Most SoundCloud users find music channels through Search, Home page and Music Charts (UK/US). Optimizing your tracks for discovery is crucial to reaching a wider audience. Ensure your tracks are well-indexed and easily discoverable by optimizing your metadata with strong titles, descriptions, and tags.
