Building Your Song Library
You will learn
- How to name and tag songs so you can find them next month
- When to download WAV versus keep a sketch
- Why backups matter more than another generate click
A library is how you stop paying twice for the same idea. Untitled “song (3)” files are how credits disappear.
Group by job, not by vibe-only playlists: client A, YouTube beds, personal demos. Tags for style and BPM make search faster than memory.
Download keepers on a paid plan if you need files without a watermark. Then read the copyright article before those files go on a monetized channel.
Steps
- 1
After each session, rename the keepers with job + style + date. “vlog-pop-120-2026-08-18” is searchable; “final2real” is not.
- 2
Build playlists per project. Mood playlists are fine for listening; project playlists are what you send to an editor.
- 3
Tag genre, vocal, and instrumental vs song. Future-you will not remember which take had no vocals.
- 4
Download MP3 for drafts and WAV for anything that might hit a timeline. Confirm your plan allows the format you need.
- 5
Back up exports off the browser. Accounts, trials, and model versions move; a local folder does not argue.
Copy-ready prompts
- Library note example: “Better Together — corporate pop, mid-tempo, light vocals, pitch deck BGM, prompt saved in description”
- Instrumental archive: “Digital Horizon — chill electronic, study pad, no vocals, loop-friendly, WAV downloaded”
Common mistakes
Leaving everything untitled
You will regenerate the same prompt next week. Name it while the session is still open.
Downloading nothing until the night of the deadline
Plans, watermarks, and export caps are easier to check on a quiet day.
Assuming free-tier files become commercial later
If you need commercial rights, generate on a paid plan. Upgrading later usually does not rewrite old takes.
