  1. I just signed up for a new account, but never received a confirmation e-mail. What now?

    Sorry about this. Because "free" is in the name of our website, funny things happen with e-mails and spam filters. You can either try again, or send us a note and we'll activate your account for you.

  2. I have questions about how to legally use the music I find on the Free Music Archive. Can you help?

    Yes. Start by reading our frequently asked questions about legal music.

  3. How can I submit my music to the Free Music Archive?

    To submit your music or label to our curated library for consideration, e-mail musicsubmissions (at) freemusicarchive (dot) org with the following:

    1. Send us a link to the work you would like to share. Keep in mind that the FMA is a curated library.  We suggest that you pick out a couple of your best/recommended tracks; what you might like to use as a first impression of your work, whether it's a song, mix or album. Our curators will take it from there. Please do not attach mp3 files to your email. 


    2. Send us a license to consider with the tracks. If your work is under an open license such as a Creative Commons license, please let us know by including a link to the license. If it's not, let us know which you would consider.


    3. Let us know if you're already here. Your FMA Username (if you've already signed-up), and let us know if an FMA curator has showcased your work in the past.


    We do our best to listen to all submissions.  However, as a small non-profit, we do not have the capacity to respond to all submissions, let alone to host all of the good music in the world. If you do not hear from us, that does not mean that your submission has been rejected; it will remain in the queue for future curators to draw upon as we continue to grow. 

  4. Complaints

    If you are a copyright owner and believe that your copyrighted works have been used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may send a written notification, ideally over email.
