Short answer: first check the file format and size, then confirm you have permission to use the recording. If the audio is valid, retry with a clean source or use the assisted upload path. A rejection is usually about the source material rather than the account.
Cover songs are one of the most-used features on the site, priced at 0.6 yuan per run. The whole process runs in the browser, with no extra tools needed.
How a cover song works
- In the workspace, choose to upload audio, or pick an existing track from your works.
- Fill in the lyrics, style, title and other details.
- Submit the generation and wait for the task to finish.
Keep the uploaded audio under 10MB. After you submit, the system detects the lyrics and style automatically, and you can keep editing from there.
Why an upload gets rejected
The most common reason is that the uploaded audio is judged to contain copyrighted content. The review looks at the material itself, not your account, so swapping in a different piece of audio usually passes.
What to do after a rejection
- Prefer audio you recorded yourself, performed yourself, or have been authorized to use.
- If it is your own original song and it still gets rejected, you can use the platform's assisted upload channel, which covers most rejection cases.
- Even if a cover of someone else's copyrighted song uploads successfully, it is not covered by commercial licensing. Do not use it for commercial delivery.
When to use cover songs and when to use something else
| What you need | Suggested feature |
|---|---|
| Redo a version with your own voice or a reference audio | Cover song |
| Keep writing after an existing song | Extend |
| Change only one section in the middle | Replace section |
| Split out vocals and instrumental | Stem separation |
These features all cost 0.6 yuan per run, so pick whichever fits your actual need. The entry point is in the online workspace.
