What WeMSG club is
We are an audio sharing platform in the beta stage of product development. Created by musicians, producers and programmers, audio.com aims to make uploading, sharing and collaborating on projects simple and intuitive. Being part of the Muse Group family (Audacity, Ultimate Guitar, MuseScore), we’re dedicated to providing technical solutions that help further your creativity.
Key Features
- Cloud-based collaboration: With audio.com, you can save your projects in the cloud, share them with others, and collaborate in real-time or asynchronously. Audacity, being a stand-alone app, doesn’t have this feature.
- Access projects anywhere: Your audio files and projects are accessible from any device with internet access. This eliminates the need to carry files between devices or worry about losing your work due to hardware issues.
- Version history: audio.com automatically saves different versions of your projects, so you can easily revert to an earlier stage of your work. Audacity requires manual saving and organization of project files.
- Integrated sharing and publishing: audio.com offers seamless sharing and publishing options for your projects directly to platforms or collaborators without needing to export files manually.

Copyright of uploads
Yes. If you are the sole creator of the audio in question, the intellectual property rights and mechanical copyright are retained by you. Similar to other UGC (User Generated Content) platforms, by using our service you grant us a license to host and show your work. You are also free to distribute your work on other platforms, if you wish. For more details check our full Terms & Conditions. We don’t currently support any digital accreditation requirements.
Permition to download
Audio files with downloads enabled can be downloaded by anyone with the relevant URL link without additional permission. Our Terms & Conditions strictly forbid the commercial use of your unmodified audio. However, a user who significantly alters your work will, within reason, create a “derivative work” and generate their own copyright license.
Does the audio get compressed when exporting from website
Audacity losslessly compresses the project to the wavpack (wv) format and uploads this compressed version to audio.com. Audio.com then transcodes wavpack back to wav. In theory, this is a lossless process, but settings can vary while transcoding. Audio.com doesn’t change the source file, if it is uploaded via the website, so the sure way to keep the original wav settings is to export the project locally and upload it to the site separately.
