# Uploading Your Music

> Learn how to upload tracks and collections to BeatPass. A complete guide for producers to share their beats.

This section covers the producer upload flow in BeatPass, including single-beat uploads, collections, metadata, cover art, sample-safe status, AI use requirements, and audio fingerprinting.

<Note>
  This feature is available to accounts with producer privileges. [Learn about the Producer Program](/help/producer-program).
</Note>

## What You Can Do

As a BeatPass producer, you can:

* Upload individual beats
* Use the **Create Collection** toggle to build a collection while uploading multiple beats
* Add metadata, cover art, and tags before saving
* Replace audio files later if the beat has not sold exclusively

<Info>
  BeatPass only accepts **WAV** audio files. MP3, FLAC, and other formats are not allowed.
</Info>

## Upload Overview

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the upload page">
    Click **Upload beats** in the top navigation bar. The upload page heading reads **Upload Your Beats**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your audio file">
    Drag and drop your file or click **Choose Files to Upload**. BeatPass runs a duplicate check using audio fingerprinting after each file is selected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the track form">
    Fill in the required track information across these sections:

    * **Cover Art & Style** — upload cover art for your beat
    * **Track Details** — track name, producers, description, collection, and tags
    * **Music Properties** — key, scale, and BPM (50–200)
    * **Protection & Verification** — sample-safe status (**Cleared** or **Needs Clearance**), AI use requirements, and fingerprinting
    * **Licensing Options** — choose from the models currently available for the credited producers, then configure price and terms for an exclusive offer
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save your beat">
    Once the required fields are complete, save the track to publish it. The form is locked while BeatPass finishes registration.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Required Fields

Before a new track can be saved, these fields must be filled in:

| Field                    | Section                                                      |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Track Name**           | Track Details                                                |
| **Cover art and genre**  | Cover Art & Style                                            |
| **Producer**             | Track Details; your producer profile is filled automatically |
| **Key**                  | Music Properties                                             |
| **Scale**                | Music Properties                                             |
| **BPM** (50–200)         | Music Properties                                             |
| **Sample-Safe warranty** | Protection & Verification                                    |
| **AI use declaration**   | Protection & Verification                                    |

Tags, description, and collection are optional.

<Tip>
  An **Available** exclusive offer needs a price, currency, contact email, stems, and your delivery guarantee. A **Private** offer has no checkout price and sends interested buyers to chat instead.
</Tip>

## AI Use Requirement

BeatPass is for human-made beats. Fully AI-generated beats are not permitted, and AI samples or generated elements must be commercially licensable through BeatPass.

Choose **Human-made** or **AI-assisted** in **Protection & Verification**. For AI-assisted audio, enter the tool or service, explain how it affected the final audio, and confirm commercial rights. Keep source notes, tool terms, plan records, receipts, project files, stems, and other Proof of Rights.

## After Uploading

Once a beat is saved:

* It appears on your producer profile and in BeatPass search results
* It participates in licensing based on the model you selected
* You can return later to edit metadata, cover art, licensing, or replace the audio file until an exclusive certificate is issued
* Fingerprint data and financial activity update over time

After an exclusive sale, only cover art remains editable. The audio and purchased licensing terms stay locked to protect the buyer's certificate.
