Upload your finished audio into Patchline and unlock the rest of the product. Once a track is in your catalog, Patchline turns into your catalog-management home base — all your files in one place, queryable, with an AI-readable description attached so every AI tool you connect can find and reason about the track. We’re building this for a world where AI agents run a growing share of music discovery and operations. The artists who keep their catalog on Patchline are the ones those agents will find first.   Upload limits vary by tier — see pricing.

​
What you get when you upload

  • Catalog home base — all your audio in one place, organized by artist and project, with version history.
  • AI-readable description — Aria writes a natural-language caption the moment the upload finishes. It’s the bridge between your music and any AI tool a fan or industry contact might be using. See AI-discoverable tracks.
  • Queryable from anywhere — semantic catalog search, Aria’s catalog tools, and the product MCP all read your uploads.
  • Storefront-ready — uploaded tracks can power your music store directly.
  • Project-ready — the release planner uses upload-grade sonic grounding to build sharper campaigns.

Upload vs import

Upload (this page)Import
Audio in PatchlineYes (secure, versioned storage)No (metadata only)
AI-readable captionYes (grounded in the audio)No — upload audio to caption
Storefront-readyYesNo
Sonic groundingFull — best Aria outputMetadata-only
The two paths complement each other. Use import to bring in tracks you’ve already released to streaming so Aria has the full catalog picture. Use upload to make Patchline the home for the master, unlock the storefront, and give Aria the strongest grounding for projects and discovery.

How to upload

​
Web dashboard

1

Open the catalog

Sidebar → Catalog.
2

Drop your file

Drag the file onto the upload zone, or click Upload to pick a file.
3

Confirm metadata

Set the title, artist, ISRC, and cover art in the track detail panel.
4

Wait for the AI-readable caption

Aria starts the caption as soon as the upload completes. The track appears in the catalog list with a spinner that resolves into the description panel.

​
Via Aria

Aria handles the upload + metadata confirmation right in the chat.

​
What happens on upload

When the upload finishes, Aria generates the AI-readable caption for the track so it becomes discoverable across AI tools — ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and any other AI client connected via MCP. The track is immediately:

​
Storage

Storage limits scale with your tier. See pricing for current numbers.

​
Version control

Every upload to the same track ID creates a new version. Versions are listed in the catalog row → ⋯ → Versions.
  • Latest version is what plays, what the caption describes, and what the storefront sells.
  • Older versions are kept (full audit trail) until you explicitly delete them.
  • Restore any version with one click.
Useful for: re-uploading after a master revision, swapping a censored edit, A/B testing storefront versions.

FAQ

Better to upload each track separately. Patchline treats each upload as a single catalog entry, so an album-as-one-file becomes one row instead of 12. If you have a 12-track album, upload 12 files.
No. Uploads and imports are tracked separately. See pricing for the limits at your tier.
Mostly governed by your internet connection. Patchline uses chunked upload for large files so flaky connections are handled gracefully.
Three reasons. (1) Storefront — only uploaded tracks can be sold through your Patchline store. (2) Stronger AI grounding — Aria reasons more accurately when the actual master is available. (3) Future-proofing — AI agents will increasingly act through direct catalog access; the master on Patchline is the master those agents will reach.
