Handling the "File Size Too Small" Error for Uploads

If you received a notification saying the file you uploaded to DistroKid is too small and is causing an error with the upload, the issue is likely related to an internet connection timeout or instability issue at the time of upload.

If this occurs, we recommend taking the following steps:

1. Delete the current upload with the errored track.
2. Check your internet connection for issues and make sure it is as stable as possible (we recommend a wired internet connection, if possible).
3. Re-upload the release with a stable internet connection.

It's also worth checking to make sure your audio file isn't actually too small of a file – keep in mind that audio files uploaded to DistroKid should be WAV, MP3, M4A, FLAC, AIFF, or Windows Media (WMA). 16-bit, 44.1 kHz WAV is typical of most uploads.
