I want to start releasing my own music and have no interest in the corporate streaming platforms. I have only a basic conceptual understanding of torrenting but it seems to me like a nice way of sharing my music with people directly.
What do I need to do and consider in order to make a music release freely available in this way?
Currently my knowledge and experience is limited to using an application on my computer to search for and download files from others but I’m willing to learn.
Any advice or signposting much appreciated :)
Leave a text file along with your music including a donation link and thanking people for listening.
I’ve heard more than a handful of artists getting some money that way after putting their own albums up on torrent/file-share sites.
If you’re releasing in a format that supports tagging, there’s usually either a comment field or custom field that you could put this into in as well.
Will do 👌 I’m not familiar with websites to upload to - the only experience I have so far is searching for files within Qbittorrent, which I believe is using search plugins… How can I find these sites? Thanks
