Tip of the Week: Uploading Music
**NOTE: Uploading music at MyStrands is only available to Indie artists through indie.mystrands.com, so they can promote their music and get heard**
While we’re on the topic of independent artists and Indie.MyStrands.com, I think we should take a minute to talk about how easy it is to upload your music to MyStrands so everyone in the world can hear your sounds…
So you went to indie.mystrands.com, registered for the site, received the confirmation e-mail and clicked the link to activate your account – now what?! Well, it’s simple. You’ll be guided through a process of submitting some info about yourself as an artist (name, biography, musical influences, profile pic, etc.), and when you’re done with that its onto the fun part – THE MUSIC!
Once you are done completing the basic information, you will come to a screen like this:
From here you can choose to either upload individual tracks, or you can upload a full album (EITHER WAY, be sure to turn your pop-up blocker OFF... you will need pop-ups for this step. This is crucial!)
If you choose to upload a single track, it will look like this:
If you want MyStrands users to be able to download your tracks, simply check the "Download" box (after reading the Terms & Conditions, of course)
... I know it's very similar, but if you choose to upload an album it will look like this:
Something to take note of when you're uploading music: sometimes it can take a while. If your files are large it will take a moment for them to upload to our servers, and sometimes it will take some time (days in some cases :-/) for our servers to display your info on MyStrands.com - so please be patient with the process.
And from then on, when you visit indie.mystrands.com you will see something like this:
Use the tabs on the top of the page to navigate your account, edit your info, and upload more songs to your page and your albums.
Hope this helps - and as always, if you have any questions just ask them in the MyStrands Forum!
