find new music

It's easy to discover new music on amazingtunes. You can search for new music based upon the type of music you like (e.g. Indie or Pop), an artists name (be they unsigned or famous) or a specific tune name. You can then browse the results or play them. Alternatively browse popular music, new releases or tags.

do more with music

The amazingtunes player lets you get the most from the music you discover:

• Tag - label songs however you want; see tagging below
• Share - share music with friends by email or your favourite social network
• Buy - if you discover a song you love, click here to download it for your MP3 player
• Like/Dislike - tell us how you feel about the music; see rate a song below

rate a song

We all have different tastes. Rating songs on amazingtunes, using the Like and Dislike buttons, will help you discover other songs you'll like. To rate a song, press the Like or Dislike buttons. If you change your mind, simply change your rating by clicking Like or Dislike again.

tagging

You can organise songs by tagging them. A tag is a word or phrase that describes any aspect of a song. For example, if you click on a tag that says 'indie', you'll discover songs that people have described as indie music.

You can add your own tags to any song or artist. If you hear a song that puts you in a good mood you could tag the song with 'good mood'. Tagging other songs with 'good mood' would create a personalised list of songs. You can tag as many songs as you like with as many tags as you want. You'll find your personal tag list in your Control Panel.

As well as this, you can look at the tags other people have created. It's another way to explore and discover new music.

create a playlist

You must be logged in to create playlists. When you hear a song you like, use the stash button to add it to your profile. Do this for as many songs as you like to create your own personal playlist. When you've added all the songs you want, name your playlist and click create playlist. To listen to your playlists or edit them, go to your profile page.

upload a song

You can upload songs once you've logged in. Click on upload at the top of the page. From here you can browse for the MP3 file you wish to upload. You must then tick the relevant boxes for the availability of your song - streaming, downloading or selling - and whether your song contains any explicit lyrics.

You must agree with the Terms and Conditions of amazingtunes, then click on Upload for your file to start uploading. Once your song has been successfully uploaded you'll be asked for some information about it: title, tags (to help other people find it), a cover image (make sure this looks professional so people choose to click on it) and a description.
