大象传媒

At the heart of 大象传媒 Introducing is the Uploader. This is where a music artist can create a profile and upload tracks so that producers at the 大象传媒 can hear them and potentially play them on the radio.

The Uploader is easy to use on your smartphone, tablet or desktop. This guide will help get you up and running.

Before you use the Uploader, make sure you've had a look at our .

• A link to the Uploader is at the top of the page
• If you're not already logged in, this will say 'Sign in'. If you are already logged in this will say 'Upload tracks'. Click it to continue!
