Upload new track
Spotify hasn't an specific page where artists can upload their since the publication proccess has more complexity. A record label is the actor who comunicate and talk with Spotify to upload the track. However, I think this is a challenge. First, by the fact that it is a good idea (In UI terms) design and prototipe this view. Then, develop it according to certain usability criteria (User first). The page has to comply with the following functional requirements:
- Only users with artist role can upload tracks.
- A track must have a title (Could be duplicated), belongs to a one music genre and also have one main artist. It could be various artist who featuring to one song. Obviously, a track must have a track file. For simplify, there are three available autio formats (.mp3, .ogg and .wav). Also, user indicate if the track contains explicit content.
- Optional to the previous point, a track may have a cover and belong to one album. It is posible user upload a track without assign it an album.
