Uploading my music here has been met with countless issues that don't seem to get resolved.
Follow me elsewhere.

@SnwmanOfficial While contacting support was definitely the right choice, it is always tricky to remote diagnose a system that you cannot look at yourself. If you are using a smartphone to upload, the issue might be related to said smartphone.
I happen to know that images uploaded directly from certain smartphones sometimes get rotated without asking the user about it. There is nothing that websites can do about those cases. In the aforementioned cases, changing the image format to PNG fixes the issue, presumably because of the way the files are stored on the device. Your issue might be something similar. A good place to ask about this would be the Audio forum where lots of your peers, who might have had the same problem, will see it:

However...
"Countless copyright issues" sounds 'to me' like one of two things:
- You are using a software that contractually obligates you to pay a license fee when using their "samples(?)". There's a list of the worst offenders in the rules:
https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/terms-of-use/audio-guidelines
- You are publishing your work elsewhere and your works are identified as having been "stolen from yourself" - which might happen based on which other places you are hosting your work on. In that case, filling out the 'appeal forms' that was linked from the notification messages would do the trick.
That being said: I am _not_ a qualified expert. If you looked into both of those things and neither could help, talking to an Audio Portal Moderator directly could clear things up, but due to the _constant_ onslaught of stolen and AI generated uploads, our volunteer (AKA "unpaid") moderators are kept pretty busy. You will get faster results reading the rules again and/or filling out 'appeal forms' than writing a 'free-form' PM or forum post.
Worst case scenario: You would need to switch to a different program for making music. I can give you a list, but I cannot tell you which one would be the best choice 'for you':

I hope this helps, because this is pretty much all I know in this regard. ;)

Just as a heads-up: It sounds rather cryptic when you leave so much to the readers' imagination. Do you have technical difficulties or is that code for "I got banned from the Audio Portal"...?

Hey thanks for the input! I don't mean to sound cryptic at all. I'm sorry if it came off like that.
Basically my most recent attempts to upload my music on this platform have been met with audio file issues like making the entire track static or having countless copyright issues, and trying to upload again doesn't seem to resolve the static issue. I've tried contacting support about the static issue in particular, but they haven't helped me with that.
I would love to upload my music here. The site doesn't seem to want me to though... :(
If you or others know anything about what could help, please feel free to let me know.
cheers
