A Complete Guide to Moving Your Music Library Onto SourceAudio
By Jarrett Santarsiero | Updated January 5, 2023
The tools on your SourceAudio site make it easy to get all your tracks and metadata uploaded, formatted, and ready to pitch. One simple upload is all it takes to utilize all our powerful features for your tracks!
Our track upload tools make it quick and easy to get your whole library online!
Just drag and drop your files onto the track uploader in your admin panel to upload and then publish all your tracks. Plus, transcode any missing file types with a single click, so you always have AIFFs, WAVs, and MP3s on file for immediate downloading.

Count on your music never losing quality
Your files maintain their original bitrate at all times on SourceAudio. Download your lossless files with the same specs they were uploaded with, while transcoded MP3s play back on-site and are downloaded at standard 320kbps.
Seamlessly ingest your old metadata into streamlined SourceAudio fields
Export a CSV from your old hosting solution and leverage that data to organize your tracks on SourceAudio. During the upload process, you have total control over which SourceAudio fields are affected by each of your data columns being imported.
Custom metadata fields ensure all your data has a place
Bringing in data that doesn’t correlate to any of the SourceAudio standard fields? We make it simple to create as many custom fields as you’d like to store all the data you need. These custom fields can be used as filters, displayed as track list columns, or hidden from non-admins, so they’re just for your own internal use.
Leverage our powerful API
If you have developer knowledge available, our API can be used to bulk import tracks and metadata. The API is free of any additional charge but does require developer knowledge to be used. Find the complete SourceAudio API documentation here.
Once all your tracks and metadata are online, you’re all set to start pitching and driving traffic to your SourceAudio site and enroll in any of our revenue-generating programs:
Alpha Libraries for Radio (1000+ tracks)
Podcast Music (1000+ tracks)
