Can I upload more than one file at once?Yes, when uploading more than one photo, music, or video file at once, hold down the Ctrl button (for Windows) or the Command button (for Mac) to select multiple files.
What formats are supported for photos, videos, and songs?There is no file type restriction for photos. For video files, imeem supports most formats but recommends .MPEG, .MOV, .FLV, and .AVI for best results. For music files, imeem supports mp3s only. For best upload and playback results we recommend that the music files have a sample rate of 44.1 kHz.
Why are some songs only playing for 30-seconds?When you find a song on imeem that is a 30-second preview, it means that the artist or record label that has registered the song in our database has not approved full-length streaming for our users. Consistent with copyright fair use principles, the song will be streamed to you as a 30-second preview.
If you already have the song on your computer, upload it to your imeem profile and listen to it full-length. You can always listen to entire songs that you’ve uploaded to imeem; they will not be converted to 30-second previews. If you do not have the song on your computer, you can buy it on iTunes or Amazon.com
Just so you know, there are already millions of songs on imeem that we have permission to stream at full-length. We are constantly working with labels and artists around the world to add more, and we are adding thousands of songs each day. Stay tuned!
How can I listen to the full song instead of just the 30-second preview?To listen to the full song instead of a 30-second preview, upload the song from your computer to imeem. You can always listen to entire songs that you’ve uploaded to imeem; they will not be converted into 30-second previews.

Why is my song only playing for 30-seconds in another blog site but the full-length in imeem?If you upload a song, you will need to be logged in to the imeem website to hear the entire song from another blog site. Other users will only hear the full song if the artist/label has approved it for full-length streaming.
If a track in your playlist was uploaded by another imeem user, you may not hear the full-length version if the artist did not approve it.
Please note there are some artists who are only allowing their songs to be streamed fully on the imeem website.
