It's also possible to get a good studio recording without breaking the bank. The studio recording guide lets you know what to expect and a good list of tips and tricks.

Once you've got your music recorded you need to convert it to an mp3 to put it up on this website. You can upload up to three tracks and you have to nominate one as your ‘best track’. This will give users (and triple J presenters) a pointer to the track you think will be most popular.
Some things to keep in mind when choosing tracks:

• Often your favourite track is your latest, but this might not actually be your best! Ask your friends and fans what their favourite tracks are, this will often be a better indicator.
• Songs that work well live might not always be the best to record.
• The length of tracks we normally play on the radio sit between 2 mins and 5 mins.

Take a look at the making an mp3 guide for technical details. There's also a photo guide to help you get a good pic on your profile page.
