Step 1 of 4, What happens
Three steps.
Five minutes.
- 1Open your own streaming account
- 2Let Amply set it up for you
- 3Add your music, and set your price
You'll need a card.
Nothing gets charged.
- →Your hosting service asks for one on sign-up, the way a phone company does.
- →Amply never sees it, and never charges you anything. Ever.
- →The free tier covers 10 GB, over a thousand songs, and around half a million plays a month.
- →Past that it's a few dollars a month, billed by your host, and you can cap it.
This is your account, in your name. That's the whole point, nobody can take your music down or change the terms on you. It also means the bill, the password and the account are yours to look after.
Go open your
streaming account.
Happens on their site. Come back here after.

Didn't land on the storage page? Open it here once you're signed in.
Then open two more pages
Literally just open these links, let them load, and come back here.
- 1 Open Workers ↗ After the page loads, come back here.
- 2 Open D1 ↗ After the page loads, you're ready for setup!
Already use Workers on this account? You can skip these.
Connect it.
We set your streaming up for you, then remove our own access.
- ✓Somewhere for your audio
- ✓Your track list
- ✓The thing that plays it, and your editor
What we never ask for
- ×Your card, or anything to do with your bank
- ×Your password
- ×To read the files you keep there
- ×To delete or change a thing
Amply's access is gone the moment this finishes.
You approve this on your host's page, not ours. Nothing from setup is kept or logged, and we're never given a way back in.
Setting up.
Under a minute. Put the kettle on.
- Finding your account
- Making somewhere for your audio
- Making your track list
- Putting up your page
- Giving it an address
- Installing your editor
- Locking the editor to you
- Publishing it
Which account?
You're in more than one. Pick the one your music should live in, not a work account, and not one that belongs to somebody else.
That didn't go through.
It's yours.
Go add your music.
You're now hosting your own streaming service, and your own site for uploading songs to it. Sign in with the email address you gave, a code gets sent there, so there's no password to remember.
Your address is still being secured
Cloudflare is issuing the certificate for your new address. It usually takes a few minutes. Until it's done your browser will warn that the address isn't safe, and it isn't worth sending to anyone yet.
Your editor isn't ready yet
Your streaming is live, you just can't add music yet. Run setup again and it'll pick up from here.
