Format Export
You can export audio files to different formats without re-uploading. Songkeeper handles the conversion server-side:
- MP3 — 320 kbps
- WAV — Lossless, up to source quality
- FLAC — Lossless compressed
- AIFF — Lossless
Quality limits
Exported files are limited to the quality of the source. A 44.1 kHz MP3 can be exported to WAV, but the output will still be 44.1 kHz. Sample rate and bit depth options are clamped to the source file's specs.
File Details
Each file tracks metadata extracted during upload:
- Duration, sample rate, bit depth, and bitrate
- Waveform visualization for audio playback
- ISRC code (for masters — can be auto-generated from your ISRC prefix)
- Approval status and mastering flags
- Privacy controls (hide from playlists or mark as private)
Sharing Files
When sharing a project or song, you control which file folders are accessible per production domain (recording, mixing, mastering, assets). Each domain can be toggled independently with options for latest-only or download access.
