Xampy is a free online music streaming service that allows music artists to upload their songs and demos. Xampy promotes all new talent and music samples submitted on our website to major record companies giving them more of a chance to get recognised and eventually obtain a record contract. Xampy also holds random music contests and events. The winner will be given a guaranteed music record deal with any of the music record companies registered in our database. Xampy.com was established in 2004 as a private company with the sole aim of promoting unsigned, talented, independent music artists or bands. Our partners are proud to be connected with Xampy.com due to the easy to use promotion & review facility offered on our website.

Xampy.com has a variety of partners in the music industry. All partners have an exclusive contract and agreement to use Xampy.com as a resource site for new talent. Your music or talent may be useful to them for different purposes such as for concerts, sales, movies and even games. Please note that your music is protected by Xampy.com and that for any deal or agreement, our partners will contact you directly for further information. Xampy.com does not intervene, but provides direct access and communication between artists and members on our site with our agents in the music industry.

Yes, anyone can submit and download music free of charge.

Xampy's members rate music they like, and we review highly-rated and recent music for consideration in 'Featured Artist & Music'. In addition, we take recommendations from members at info@xampy.com and scan the site for music of interest. Music is promoted to record companies who review your music samples. The higher the rating, the more you get promoted. Please note that gold members get promoted automatically.

All accounts share the basic features on Xampy such as uploading, commenting, sharing, music responses, etc. Each of the specialised account types offers different customization options:

• Free: A free account allows you to upload unlimited music and use all the basic features on our site. It does not include video uploads although some basic promotion is included.
• Gold: Gold accounts have the same features as the Free account, but also offers members the opportunity to upload videos, add commercial music, and account holders are promoted via a weekly mailing list to all major record companies.
• Agent: Agents are private accounts for music entrepreneurs and companies who specialise in music distribution and promotion. The system provides agents with a clean and easy to use overview of the members and music listed on our site. Agents will also receive emails on a regular basis containing new talent and music that has been submitted on our site, customised to their music preference.

Yes. Since music is attached to your profile, you must sign up as a member to upload songs. Becoming a member also allows you to save music, create your favourite playlist, and leave comments, among many other features.

Music files stay on Xampy until the members who uploaded them choose to take them down. Music files which violate the terms of use and have been flagged may be taken down by Xampy itself.

Music files can only be uploaded in MP3 format.

Depending on your connection speed and the size of the music file, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to upload a song. Generally, if you have a high-speed internet connection you can expect the upload to take somewhere between 1-5 minutes for every 1MB. However, the experience is different for every user because of the variation in connection speeds.

All of the music on Xampy is streamed through a Flash player, so you need to have the latest version of Macromedia Flash installed on your computer. To download it, please visit Adobe.

If a music file doesn't play continuously, it may be due to your connection speed. You'll need a broadband connection with at least 200+Kbps for the best listening experience. It's also possible that our servers are experiencing high traffic, which sometimes affects the speed. If this is the case, there is not much you can do, but we are continuously adding servers to keep up with demand. Thanks for hanging in there with us as we continue to grow.

Uploading a music file can take several hours, depending on the length of your music and the demand on the servers. If your music upload is taking longer than 24 hours to complete, we recommend cancelling the upload, checking the length and settings for your music file, and starting again.

Yes. Use the download icon to save the music file onto your computer. You can also add the song to your playlist by clicking on the playlist icon which is then available in your private playlist in your account menu.

Xampy doesn't save your searches, but your browser probably does. If you don't want to see your previous search terms displayed in the search field, you need to clear the search history in your browser.

You can't edit or delete comments you make on other people's music. Once you've made a comment, it can only be removed or moderated by a site administrator.

Xampy.com allows gold members to upload commercial music. This means that gold members can add a price to there song so that other members need to pay a small fee in order to be able to download it. Our service allows users to listen and evaluate the song first before purchasing. Once the member has arranged online payment, the seller will receive the money from Xampy.com into his paypal account within 24 - 48 hours. Please note that Xampy.com takes a small commission on your sale for legal insurances and to protect your song on our website during download.
