 |
Step one: Sign up at SoundClick
SoundClick is a music website that features both signed and unsigned bands, offering unlimited storage for your band's music. The easiest way to post music online with a Creative Commons license is to let SoundClick handle all the hosting, posting, and licensing for you. Start by signing up a new (free) account at SoundClick. |
 |
Step two: Add information about your band
SoundClick offers plenty of ways for you to add additional information about your music. Describing your band and the type of music you play will help visitors find your music. |
 |
Step three: Upload your song to Soundclick
After adding information about your song, upload it to SoundClick. |

Morpheus
Morpheus is a popular windows P2P file-sharing application with support for locating and displaying Creative Commons licenses on audio files. The following steps describe the process to distributing your audio on the Morpheus network.
 |
Step one: Use CC Publisher to add metadata to your music
The first step to getting your music recognized by Morpheus is to embed your license into your songs. Follow our tutorial on using CC Publisher. When you're done either publishing your song to the Internet Archive or your own website, your audio file will have the proper embedded metadata. |
 |
Step two: Put your song into Morpheus' Downloads directory
Once you have used CC Publisher, your audio file should have extra metadata embedded. Simply copy the file to your Downloads directory within Morpheus to begin sharing it. Others using the Morpheus client should be able to see your song and search for it. |
Finding Creative Commons licensed audio on Morpheus
 |
Search for licensed music at Morpheus
You can search for licensed songs at Morpheus by putting "cc:sampling" into the search field (search for other licenses via "cc:sharing" is coming soon). |
 |
Licenses in Search Results
You should see Creative Commons license information in your search results. |
 |
View license information in your results
Mousing over individual results will also display any Creative Commons license information. When downloading licensed songs, you may want to verify the files with CC Lookup. |
Helpful Links
- Morpheus also has a detailed how-to on publishing your Creative Commons licensed audio files, finding licensed files, and verifying licensed files.
- Download our CC Publisher and CC Lookup
Adding a license to your audio page
 |
Step one: Choose a license
If you already have your own website hosting your music and you'd like to put others on notice that they can use and share your songs, start by choosing a license for your work. |
 |
Step two: Copy the code
On the "Mark your content" page of the license process, copy the code provided by highlighting it with your mouse and hitting ctrl-c (command-c on a Mac). |
 |
Step three: Paste code into your site
The specifics of the last step will depend on how you edit your website. Most desktop website tools like Dreamweaver, Frontpage, or GoLive offer a "code view" that lets you see the code that makes up your page. Near the end of the page you are hosting music, before you see </body></html>, paste in the code copied in the previous step by clicking the page and hitting ctrl-v (command-v on a Mac). |
