How to distribute music to SoundCloud

1. Create a free account: Sign up with your email for a 7-day free trial. No card needed.

2. Upload your release: Add your WAV or FLAC audio, 3000×3000px cover art and the release details: title, artists, genre and copyright lines.

3. Choose SoundCloud: Pick SoundCloud and the other stores you want in the submit step. Set the release date at least 2 weeks out so every store has time to ingest it.

4. Pick a plan and submit: Choose a yearly plan from $15. We review your release and deliver it, typically within 24 hours, so it can go live on SoundCloud on your release date.

Questions we get a lot.

How long until my release goes live?

After you submit, the release is reviewed and delivered to your chosen stores — typically within 24 hours. Each store then has its own ingestion window, so set the release date at least 2 weeks ahead to avoid release-day delays.

Does the 7-day trial need a credit card?

No. Sign up with just your email and explore the dashboard for 7 days: build releases as drafts, transfer your catalog, set up artists and smart links. Pushing a release to stores and buying add-ons require a paid plan — pick one whenever you’re ready. Nothing is charged automatically.

Do I keep ownership of my music?

Always. You grant Spilix a non-exclusive licence only so we can deliver to the stores you choose, and you can request a takedown at any time.

Can I switch from another distributor and keep my UPC/ISRC?

Yes. Tick "This release was distributed before" in the editor and enter your existing UPC and original release date so your streams and codes carry over instead of creating a duplicate.
