Hi Fellas
Thanks for your replies. I've got around it by just uploading the mp3 to my bit of personal webspace. setting a link to it and have by passed soundclicks on this occasion. It's not worth the risk or worth upsetting anyone.

Hmmm.. I uploaded a "Songname (Cover)" and it went right thru. No mention of license or anything from them.

Oh well. If they can it, I'll know why :)

Zep,

It is legal cover, but they are enforcing it. I just got "challenged" by them to get a digital license from the Harry Fox Agency to put covers up. Depending on the song length, the charge varies but on average its about $.10 a play or download. Since I am not a pro musician, I have to make a judgement call if I want to invest in covers just for the fun of it. I'm in the middle of a project of Kansas covers from their 1st 6 albums and its a bit of a bummer but I don't have any animosity toward Soundclick..its in the interest of the song writer that they are pursuing folks covering tunes.

I see lots of covers on Soundclick, I think that warning is more legal protection for them than anything else. Just put "Songname (Cover)" as the description and upload it.

Hi Fellas
My first posting to a great site. Where can I upload a cover song for some well needed advice? I've read the soundclick terms and not sure if I'm allowed.
