Notes:
- Our platform is adding all the details of the track by reading the id3tag of the MP3 file you are uploading. If the id3tag is not OK, then the system cannot find any information related to it.
- The tracks uploaded by a user can be viewed only by him; other viewers do not see them.
- The thumbnail of the audio file listed on the website is taken from the album cover while reading the id3tag details.
- If the same id3tag were used on another mp3 file that was previously uploaded on the TikiLIVE platform, then the system will not upload the new file as it will appear as a duplicate file.
