Expert Answer

I've done this by word of mouth or through actual websites like Spotify or Apple Music. Amazon is the easiest one to get into, because you can just sell your CD on Amazon as your own retail shop, but professionally, having streams, Apple Music and Spotify are the way to go. You can also go through a company like Soundrop, and they will handle your music distribution for you.

Question

How do I record my music using an Android?

Community Answer

Select a free app like "voice recorder" from the options available in the Play Store. Click "install" to install the voice recorder. Click "Open" when you are ready to begin recording. Hit the "record" button with the red dot to start recording. Say whatever you want while the app records. The time counter at the top of the screen will begin showing the elapsed seconds since you started recording. Click the red button again to stop recording. Enter a title for your recording and then hit the "save" button to save the file.

Question

Which format do I use when uploading my track online?

MP3 is best. Other common choices are M4A, AAC, and OGG, while "audiophiles" prefer the lossless formats FLAC, WAV, and AIFF. You might consider uploading one version in a "lossy" format, and one in a "lossless" format - the usual pairings for this are MP3 and FLAC, or AAC and AIFF.
