Cover Art on the Upload Page
BeatPass requires cover art for new tracks before saving. You can currently use:- A custom uploaded image
- An AI Preset matched from your selected genres
Audio Fingerprint Status During Upload
While uploading, BeatPass shows these current fingerprint states:| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pending | Upload is present but duplicate checking has not started yet |
| Checking | BeatPass is starting duplicate detection |
| Analyzing | BeatPass is analyzing the audio fingerprint |
| Verified Unique | No duplicate was found |
| Check Failed | The duplicate check failed, but BeatPass still lets you continue |
A duplicate-check failure does not automatically block the upload. BeatPass currently fails open in that situation, which means you can still continue and save the track.
Duplicate Detection
BeatPass checks uploaded audio against existing tracks. If a matching or near-matching beat is detected, BeatPass can block the save flow and show the existing track details. If the file is unique, the track continues normally. See Audio Fingerprinting for the detailed behavior.Sample-Safe Status
In Protection & Verification, BeatPass asks you to choose one of two sample-clearance states:Cleared
Use this when the beat is 100% original or all samples are fully cleared.
Needs Clearance
Use this when the beat contains samples that still require outside clearance.
Licensing Options
The current licensing model labels on the form are:| Option | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standard Licensing | Standard BeatPass subscription licensing only |
| Standard + Exclusive | Offer both standard licensing and exclusive purchase |
| Exclusive Only | Offer the beat only as an exclusive opportunity |
Saving the Upload
When the required fields are complete:- Click Save Track for single beats
- Use the collection save flow when Create Collection is enabled
- The collection itself needs cover art
- Each new track still needs its own audio and cover art
Tips for a Cleaner Upload Workflow

BeatPass currently blocks non-WAV files, so convert your final masters before you start uploading.
Pick genres early

Genres affect discovery and also drive the AI preset artwork suggestions.
Do not skip cover art

Cover art is required on new tracks and collections, so choose it before you try to save.
Watch the fingerprint state
Watch the fingerprint state
A beat cannot be confirmed unique until the duplicate check finishes. If BeatPass finds a duplicate, resolve that before expecting the save to succeed.
