The music sharing and social media platform has forged new genres and helped kickstart the careers of many major musicians around the world.
With a free SoundCloud account, anyone can upload up to three hours of music for free. A paid Pro Unlimited account from SoundCloud will grant you unlimited upload time. With a free RouteNote account, we can help you monetize your existing tracks on SoundCloud and unlock unlimited uploads with zero fees or monthly payments.
You can upload lossy MP3s to SoundCloud or lossless formats such as FLAC, WAV, ALAC and AIFF for the best audio quality available. Files can be up to 4GB each.
