Why list here?

SoundCloudEasy uploads, a free download button and a big music community. Great as the home for your files.
YouTubeWhere creators search first. A clear title and a download link in the description work wonders.
BandcampLets you offer free or name-your-price downloads, and fans can support you.
NonCopyrightedPuts your tracks in front of creators looking for free music, with clear license labels and your credit line.

The setup that works

Host your files on one place you control, such as SoundCloud, Bandcamp or your own site. Then list them where creators search. On every upload, say the same three things: that the track is free to use, what the credit line is, and where to download it.

A simple description you can copy

Free to use in videos, streams and podcasts, also monetized. Please credit: Music by [your name] – [link]. Download: [link].

Mistakes to avoid

  • Unclear rules: if people are not sure they may use your track, they skip it.
  • Content ID on free tracks: it can claim the videos of people you wanted to help. See Content ID explained.
  • No download link: make it one click to get the file.

Yes. Just use the same license and credit line everywhere so nobody gets confused.

How do I get more people to use my music?

Make it free for monetized videos with a simple credit line, use clear genre and mood words in your titles, and list it where creators look. Read our full guide: how to share your work.
