When you upload a song to the SURF platform, it automatically identifies, classifies, and tags by genre, mood, key, BPM, instrument type, etc. With this function, you can automatically generate playlists and smoothly search for songs for Briefs.

 

You can check the details of the song by clicking "View".  You can also edit the details of the song and share (copy the link).

Also, by pressing the "Submit to Marketplace" tab, you can publish the song to buyers on the SURF marketplace. This can be unpublished at any time by pressing "Remove from Marketplace".
