How To Upload Music To YouTube Channel/Music

As there is a wide community of music fans on YouTube, more and more artists upload their music on YouTube.

However, uploading music to your YouTube channel can be a little confusing because YouTube does not recognize common audio file extensions. So, you cannot upload your music tracks directly from your computer to YouTube. Here, we provide you with this guide to help you upload music to YouTube easily.
