How to Upload Beats to Airbit

Airbit is a beat marketplace in the same lane as BeatStars: buyers browse, license tiers do the selling, and every purchase comes with an electronically signed contract. For a producer, it's a second storefront — its own search, its own charts, its own buyers — and listing there costs you nothing extra once your workflow is set up properly. Here's how to upload, what to watch for, and how to make it effortless.

Step 1: Know the free plan's limit

Before you commit your catalogue: Airbit's free plan is capped at 20 beats in your store. That's a hard limit, set and enforced by Airbit. You have two honest options: upgrade to a paid Airbit plan for unlimited beats, or accept the cap and treat your Airbit store as a rotating shelf of your strongest 20. What you shouldn't do is discover the limit halfway through uploading a 60-beat catalogue — plan for it from day one.

Step 2: Prepare your files

The file logic mirrors any marketplace: a tagged MP3 for the preview, an untagged WAV for the lease, and a zipped folder of stems (trackouts) for your premium and exclusive tiers. Buyers licensing for a real session expect stems — a beat listed without them is leaving your highest-value tier empty.

Step 3: Metadata and tags

Airbit's internal search is your shelf placement, so fill in everything: BPM, key, genre, mood, and the artist and type-beat tags that match the sound. Accuracy matters more than volume — a beat tagged at the wrong BPM frustrates buyers, and consistent metadata across your store helps the platform recommend the rest of your catalogue once someone lands on one beat.

Step 4: Set up your licenses

This is the commercial core. Build a clear license ladder — typically MP3, WAV, a premium tier with stems, and exclusive rights — and price it so the value of each step up is obvious. Attach the right files to each tier. A coherent license setup does more for revenue than anything else on the page.

Step 5: Publish and share

Publish the beat, then share it. Every beat in your store has its own share link, which is what you put in YouTube descriptions and social bios — the direct path from a listener hearing the beat to a buyer licensing it.

The faster way: automate the whole chain

An Airbit upload done by hand is the same sequence of fields, files and clicks for every single beat — on top of the identical ritual you're already doing on your other platforms. Audia automates it: it analyses the beat, generates the metadata and tags, fills in your defaults, and uploads to Airbit in the same one-click flow as YouTube, BeatStars and SoundCloud — then hands you the share links. Your hands-on time is about 30 seconds per beat, across all four platforms.

Frequently asked questions

How many beats can you upload to Airbit for free?

Airbit's free plan is limited to 20 beats in your store. To grow past that you either upgrade to a paid Airbit plan for unlimited beats, or keep your store curated to your best 20.

Should I sell beats on Airbit as well as BeatStars?

Many working producers list on both. Each marketplace has its own buyers, search and feeds, so the same beat listed in both places has more chances to be found — and with automation, publishing to both is a single action rather than double the work.

Can I automate uploading beats to Airbit?

Yes. The repetitive parts — metadata, tagging, license setup on your defaults, and the upload itself — can be automated so an Airbit upload happens in the same one-click flow as YouTube, BeatStars and SoundCloud.
