How to Put Music on Your YouTube Page

While YouTube is popular for its video content, it can also be a powerful tool for hosting and sharing music. You can have music on your YouTube page just as easily as you can create and upload a simple video. Your YouTube page can host one song or be a musical epicenter provided you know how to create a simple video file whose audio soundtrack is nothing more than the song or musical composition of your choosing.
