Protecting my work was something I always put off because the legal side of things felt so daunting and expensive. Songbay made the whole protection process so straightforward that I felt silly for waiting so long. Having that official timestamp on my uploads gives me a level of confidence I never had when just sharing links privately. It’s a vital service for any songwriter who is serious about their career. Now I can share my demos without that nagging worry in the back of my mind.
The support team here deserves a raise! I messed up my upload details and thought I'd lost my timestamp. Emailed them in a panic on a Sunday, expecting to wait days. They got back to me within the hour and fixed it for me. You just dont get that level of care anywhere else.
I’ve been sitting on a collection of lyrics for over a decade, just scribbles in notepads really. I always heard the melodies in my head, but I can’t play a note to save my life. It was frustrating feeling like these songs were stuck inside me. I stumbled across Soulfaze late one night and saw their production service. I was hesitant because I’m very protective of my words, but I decided to try just one song. The process was surprisingly easy. I wasnt just throwing money into a machine, I could give notes on the mood, the style, and the instrumentation I imagined. When the file arrived in my inbox a few days later, I was actually nervous to press play. I shouldnt have been because It was beautiful. They nailed the melancholic vibe I wanted perfectly, and the piano arrangement was stunning. Hearing my words sung back to me for the first time was an incredibly emotional moment. I’ve since commissioned three more songs. They’ve helped me realise a dream I thought was impossible.

Have just signed up to this site, cannot do anything, uploading is a joke, including profile picture, try to contact them via their "contact us" page, an even bigger joke, type in any problem and it can't find any of them. They don't even have a cancellation page, so, if you do read these reviews, get back to me via my email as I want to cance my subscription.
Easy to post lyrics for sale, and it's a neat place for micro-artists like me to store and keep track of their material. Some of my specific songs show up in Google search results, as does my page. They make custom live recordings from AI generated songs, at subsidized rates. They take care in this song conversion process, and the tracks I've had converted, were excellent. Email communications have many typos, I assume this is from using AI in replies, or for some other reason. In regards to the common complaints in other reviews-1. Registering (1) song with the U.S. Copyright office, costs over $200. ALL of your songs can be registered with Songbay for about $80 a year. So regardless of what you think of the validity of the copyright protection offered, you can have certificates and documentation for up to 50 songs, for 2 years, for the price of (1) through the U.S. Copyright office. If you only have 1 or 2 songs to protect, simply pay and register those with the Copyright Office. If you are a income earning, commercial artist, you wouldn't be posting your stuff here at all, and then the validity of the certificates is a moot point. 2. If no one is buying your songs, that is not Songbay's fault. I have about 40 tracks on there, and have yet to sell any lyrics. That could simply be because of the absurd volume of available lyrics and finished songs in the world (Spotify gets around 100,000 song submissions PER DAY, and some say that figure is closer to 500,000 now with AI), and not necessarily due to Songbay. Overall, Songbay delivers what I expected to get out of it, and the live song conversions are the best, and most useful feature.
The problem with songbay is that they not only remove your music if a subscription expires which ok maybe you can wear but the so-called copyright disappears too. This doesnt seem an appropriate way to copyright then.In response to the reply I can only say copyright protection does require ongoing vigilance but it remains a poor man's copyright if it depends on subscription and us in fact not legally copyright protection at all. I use copyright house for copyright and it is permanent and unlimited. I was looking to copyright with songbay but having checked up and saw if was not permanent and therefore illusory I decided to use a trusted one instead. It is good though that you recognize the gap and plan to fill this and of course you are entitled to charge for the service, but the idea of temporary copyright is absurd and not legal copyright at all.But I'm glad you are updating your service.
