Your First Upload: A Friendly Walkthrough
TipTop.music — Getting Started

Uploading your first track to a new platform can feel daunting. New interfaces, unfamiliar terminology, and the lingering worry that you will miss something important. We have designed the TipTop upload process to be straightforward, and this walkthrough will guide you through every step so there are no surprises.

Step 1: Sign in to Your Artist Dashboard

Head to app.mw3.biz/tiptop and sign in with your MW3.biz account. If you don't have one yet, creating an account takes about a minute. Once signed in, you'll see your artist dashboard with sections for music, analytics, earnings, and more.

Step 2: Navigate to Upload

From your dashboard, find the music section and select the upload option. You'll be presented with a clean form where you can add your track details and audio file.

Step 3: Add Your Audio File

Upload your audio file in high-quality format. TipTop accepts standard audio formats and will transcode your file for optimal streaming delivery. The platform processes your audio to ensure listeners get the best possible sound quality.

Step 4: Fill in Your Track Details

Complete the metadata for your track:

  • Title - Your track name as you want it displayed
  • Genre and subgenre - Be specific and honest. Accurate genre tags directly improve your discovery
  • Cover art - Upload artwork for your track or release
  • Audio origin - Select Organic (live instruments), Digital (DAW-produced), or AI Sound (AI-generated). Be accurate here as TipTop verifies this
  • Description - Optional but helpful for listeners discovering your music

Step 5: Publish

Once your details are complete and your audio has finished processing, you can publish your track. It becomes available to listeners immediately. The AI discovery system begins matching your track with compatible listeners right away based on your genre tags and audio characteristics.

Frequently asked questions

How Do I Upload Music to TipTop?

Sign in at app.mw3.biz/tiptop, go to the music section, click Upload, drop in your WAV or MP3 file, fill in title, genre, audio origin (Organic, Digital, or AI Sound), and cover art, then publish. Your track is live immediately — no approval queue, no review period, no follower minimum.

What Audio Formats Does TipTop Accept for Upload?

TipTop accepts common audio formats including WAV and MP3. The platform transcodes all uploads to ensure optimal streaming quality and performance for listeners across different devices and connection speeds. Upload at the highest quality you have — the transcoder downsamples as needed but can't add fidelity that wasn't there.

What Is the Audio Origin Field on TipTop?

Audio Origin tells listeners how your track was created: Organic (live instruments), Digital (DAW-produced), or AI Sound (AI-generated). TipTop verifies this, so label accurately. It's not a punishment — listeners can filter by it, which helps the right audience find your music, and transparency builds trust.

Can I Upload an Entire Album to TipTop at Once?

Yes. TipTop supports albums, EPs, singles, and mixtapes. Create a release in your dashboard and add multiple tracks to it, complete with shared cover art and release-level metadata. The tracks can be published individually or all at once.

Can I Edit My TipTop Track Details After Publishing?

Yes. You can update metadata such as title, genre tags, description, and cover art from your dashboard at any time after publishing. Audio Origin changes may trigger a re-verification, since accuracy of that field affects how listeners filter your work — but routine metadata edits go live immediately.
