YouTube is a great place to share your music with the world. You can upload your music to the site and share it with your friends and family. There are a few things you need to do in order to upload your music to YouTube. First, you need to create a YouTube account. Once you have an account, you can create a new song or video. You can also use an existing song or video as the basis for your upload. Next, you need to choose the format of your upload. You can choose either mp3 or AAC. If you choose mp3, YouTube will compress the audio for you so it’s easier to download and view on YouTube. If you choose AAC, YouTube will encode the audio for you so it’s more audible on YouTube. Once you’ve chosen the format of your upload, click on the Upload button next to it. This will start uploading your song or video into YouTube. It may take a few minutes for theupload process to finish, but once it does,you’ll see a message saying that there are some errors in your file. If everything goes according to plan,you’ll eventually see a message saying that all of your files have been uploaded and added to YouTube!
