- Do fans get paid for listening?

- When do artists get paid?
- Every Friday, in naira, cedi or rand, to a bank account or mobile money.
- Can I listen without data?
- Yes. Download a track and it plays offline. Offline plays are counted once your phone reconnects.
- How much data does streaming use?
- Data Saver streams at 64 kbps, about 29 MB an hour. Standard quality is 128 kbps, about 58 MB an hour.
- Which payment methods work?
- Card and bank transfer, plus mobile money in Ghana and instant EFT in South Africa.
- Can I upload AI-generated music?
- No. SonikBlu does not accept AI-generated music from users. Releases found to be AI-generated are removed, and repeat uploads close the account.
