  • Sonix does not support direct uploads from Spotify URLs. Pasting a Spotify link into the upload tool will not work.

  • You must have the legal right or permission to use and transcribe the audio.

  • Supported file formats include MP3, M4A, WAV, and MP4.

  • If you don’t own the rights to the content, you should not attempt to record or upload it.

  1. Download the audio from a legal source (for example, from your content host or editor if you are the creator).

  2. Use a recording tool (if permitted)

    • If downloading isn’t possible, use screen/audio recording software to capture the content as it plays.

    • Always ensure you have permission before recording.

  3. Save the file in a supported format such as MP3, M4A, WAV, or MP4.

  4. Upload the audio to Sonix

You may use audio recording software (if permitted) to capture the content. Make sure you have the legal right to do so.

Can Sonix help me bypass copyright restrictions?

No. Sonix fully complies with copyright laws. Only upload or record content you have rights to use.
