Files Submission Form

Thank you for your payment. 

Use the instructions below to submit your album.

How to submit your album to Blues Blast Magazine:

Step 1 – Create your master folder for submission.

On your computer, create a folder and name the folder as the artist name and the album title.  For example: “Artist Name – Album Title”

Step 2 – Check that your audio files are in order:

Files must be MP3s.
If you need help converting files to MP3 files, Google “how do I convert files to MP3”.  We cannot assist with the conversion of your files.

Files should be named as follows:

1-SongName-AlbumName-ArtistName.mp3
2-NextSongName-SameAlbumName-SameArtistName.mp3
3-NextSongName-SameAlbumName-SameArtistName.mp3
etc…

Files should be correctly meta-tagged.  An easy way to do this is by downloading this meta-tagging programDirect link:  https://www.mp3tag.de/en/
