The recommended formats for uploading audio masters are:

• WAV with at least 16-bit depth, 44.1 kHz, stereo

• FLAC with at least 16-bit depth, 44.1 kHz, stereo

We accept the following formats:

• MP3

• WAV

• FLAC

• AIFF

• M4A

Hi-Res audio

We also support uploading Hi-Res files:

	Bit-Depth	Sampling Rate	Format
Hi-Fi Master	16	44.1KHz	WAV or FLAC
HD-Master	24	96KHz
Studio-HD-Master	24	192KHz

Any sample rate above 44.1 KHz is ideal and accepted.

If you have an MP3, M4A or other audio file and have no way to export the song as a WAV file, you can still use the audio file. Our system will encode the audio for you and save it as a FLAC file. However, this may affect the quality of the song.
