If you are a musician in your spare time, you have probably already tried to put your music on Spotify to realize that it was not possible. This is because Spotify does not allow you to pass music directly. If you are an artist without a contract, you must register with a music distributor so that your music is put online on the platform. In addition to Spotify, most music distributors will transfer your music to other services, such as Pandora, iTunes, Google Play Music, Amazon MP3, etc. [1] x Research source

Remove your music on the music distributor. The music distributor will pass your music on Spotify and other audio streaming services. The files that you pass on the music distributor must be high -resolution MP3 files or loss WAV files. Certain less expensive music distribution offers can limit the quality of the MP3 file that you are authorized to pass. For best results, pass 320 kb/s mp3 files. 120 kb/s is the minimum file quality to download.

Give the music distributor the good metadata. When you pass a song on a music distributor, you must not only enter the artist’s name and the title of the song. You must also include information such as the title of the album, the track number, the musical genre and the copyright information. You can directly add metadata to your musical files using your music or mp3 creation software. Your music distributor can also offer you a form to fill out. Make sure these forms, as well as all the metadata in your music, are as complete as possible.

Supply the pockets. If you have recorded an album, you must have an album cover to give to the music distributor. If the music you come over is a demo, you can provide a photo of the artists with their name or their logo on the image. Once the distributor has received your music and all the appropriate information, it will go through an approval process. Once approved, she will be remotely remotely on Spotify and other music and streaming services. In general, it takes between 3 and 5 working days to make your music online on Spotify. The deadline may vary depending on the music distributor by which you spend. The online on other streaming services can take more time. You may be allowed to program a specific date for putting your music online. If you choose to set a broadcast date, be sure to provide appropriate files in advance.

Here’s how to import your music files and listen to them on Spotify

You want to add your own music to Spotify? It’s possible! We can indeed import our musical files in our Spotify library via the computer application.

Spotify is the most popular streaming music service in the world with millions of songs in its repertoire.

However, it is not impossible that some of our favorite artists are not in their catalog for lack of rights or simply because they are too “underground”. This is without counting our own music that we composed.

Well, it is possible to add them if we have musical files on our computer via the Spotify application. The catch is that there are restrictions.

Importing your music on Spotify via computer is done in seconds.

Steps to add your own music to Spotify

To add your own music to Spotify, you must first download and install the musical service computer application.

Once the installation is done, here are the steps to import our musical files on Spotify:

1. Connect to your Spotify account
2. Preferences
3. Check the option: Display local files

Here is where to activate the option: Display local files on Spotify.

Once the option is activated, you will notice in the left column a tab: Local files. Spotify will automatically add the music files that are present on our computer.

Unlike Apple Music, these files will be accessible on our other devices only if we use the same WiFi network as our computer. A little irritant we suit it.

In addition, the files will not be found in our library in general and will remain in this tab of local files. We can however create playlists and add our local pieces as we do for any other song on Spotify.
