Uploading your music isn't just about clicking the submit button. The audio format you choose can affect sound quality, listener experience and even whether your release gets accepted.

If you're distributing music through SunoDistro, using the correct audio format helps ensure your release reaches streaming platforms with the best possible quality.

🎵 Why Audio Format Matters

Streaming services receive millions of songs every month. Starting with a high-quality master gives platforms the best source before they create their own streaming versions.

🥇 WAV (Recommended)

• Highest quality
• Lossless audio
• Preferred by most music distributors
• Perfect for Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music

🎧 MP3

MP3 files are much smaller, but they remove audio information through compression.

They're useful for previews and sharing demos, but they should not be your first choice for commercial music distribution.

🎼 FLAC

FLAC is another lossless format that keeps excellent sound quality while reducing file size.

Some distributors accept FLAC, but WAV remains the safest and most widely supported option.

📊 Quick Comparison

❌ Common Mistakes

• Uploading low bitrate MP3 files.
• Exporting with clipping.
• Changing sample rate unnecessarily.
• Using different formats for every release.
• Deleting the original master after upload.

🚀 Best Settings Before Uploading

🎯 Final Thoughts

If you want your music to sound its best everywhere, upload a high-quality WAV file whenever possible.

SunoDistro makes distribution simple, but starting with a professional master helps you get the best results across every streaming platform.
