Few good FAQs

Is amazingtunes a record label?
The amazingtunes label runs parallel to the website and works exclusively with chosen artists in an online only format. We’re not going to take an unfair share of artists’ rights but we are going to do things smarter, which means online and ultimately by being led by the fans themselves. So we hope it’s a new way of doing things for artists that gets great music to the fans faster and more fairly.

What kind of files can I upload?
Currently amazingtunes only supports MP3’s. However, we know quality is important so we’ve ensured that file size isn’t an issue. The maximum file upload limit is 250MB and there are no limits to the number of songs you can upload.

How can I convert my songs into MP3’s?
There are a number of programs that can convert audio files to MP3. A free and reliable program for both Windows and Mac users is iTunes.

What happens with the money after I’ve sold a track?
70% of revenue from all songs sold – after bank charges and taxes – will go straight to you.

If I sell my tracks here can I still sell them anywhere else?
All the songs you upload remain your property; we promote them non-exclusively. You’re free to upload the same songs elsewhere.
