HOWTO Publish

Audio

Specific Sites

Internet Archive

You can quickly and easily publish your audio files to the Internet Archive using our CC Publisher application. CC Publisher is a tool that does two things: it will help you tag your audio files with information about your license and it allows you to upload Creative Commons-licensed audio and video works to the Internet Archive for free hosting.

CC Publisher is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems. Download links and installation instructions can be found on the CC Publisher page.

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. Choose a license for your audio

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).
