Audio is an asset type as well as a category on the Creator Marketplace. Audio assets are played through Sound objects. Users can upload audio files through the Create page with a limit on how many they can upload per 30 days.
Unlike other assets on the marketplace, audio assets are more restricted in how they are used across experiences. Each audio asset has a sharing setting which, if set to private, will disallow the asset from being accessed on other experiences except for the asset's listed experiences. Each asset also has a distribution setting which allows the asset to be displayed on the marketplace if turned on. Roblox currently does not allow users to change any of these settings. However, if their asset is private, they can select and grant experiences access to their asset, which must either be owned by the asset's creator or be accessible to the creator with granted permissions.
Any user can upload MP3 and OGG audio files with a limit to how much files they can upload per month. Non-ID verified creators can upload up to 10 audios per month. ID-verified creators can upload 100. Some developers were given a limit of 2,000 uploads per month. Audio files must have a length of at most 7 minutes.
Roblox does not allow audio files containing copyrighted content. Roblox also does not allow certain types of audio:
•Excessively loud audio ("Do not upload excessively loud audio to Roblox.")
•Distorted sound, usually voice ("Uploading distorted audio files is not permitted. Please make sure your files can be easily and clearly heard.")
•Using one's own voice ("We're sorry, but audio featuring your voice or other personal information is not allowed on Roblox.")
•Adult content ("Adult content is not tolerated on Roblox.")
An audio asset can be used in a Sound object using the asset's ID. Public assets can be played. For a private asset, however, an experience must be given access by the asset's creator in order to play it.
Roblox doesn't provide a built-in feature to download any audio from the Library. However, third-party tools (such as the BTRoblox browser extension) allow downloading of audio.
The game client was previously able to play Impulse Tracker module (IT) files. There are two IT files known to be on Roblox, all of which are uploaded by Shedletsky as audio assets: WindOfFjords in 2007 and TheGreatStrategy in 2008.
Before 2009, it was possible to upload audio files unmoderated and without limit.
From 2009 to 2013, audio files were only able to be uploaded to the catalog by administrators; most of which were provided by Roblox, RobloSam, or clockwork. The latter two still have all their uploaded audio available on their profiles to this day.
On September 25, 2013, Roblox introduced a system where players can upload their MP3 files on Roblox by purchasing them with Robux. This allowed for a broader plethora of audio to be used in places. The system however only allowed 15 seconds of audio and cost users 250 Robux per audio asset, allegedly set up to prevent misuse of the feature. However, a loophole was discovered shortly afterward, in which players could technically upload a full song by speeding it up to the point where the song's duration is lower than 15 seconds, and creators could tweak the pitch to be lowered at a specific value (usually predetermined by the uploader in the description), for the full song to play normally, although losing some quality.
In early 2014, Roblox's sound engine was changed so that audio is now more reliable in playback. Playback is nearly guaranteed, even if the audio asset hasn't been preloaded.
On January 15, 2014, Roblox increased the sound limit to 120 seconds, 8 times the length of the previous limit, and the cost decreased by 60% to 100 Robux, allowing longer audio to be uploaded for a lower price. The update proved to be successful, as it reduced the hassle of uploading multiple short samples of long audio and also reduced the complications that came with the pricing.
Roblox automatically searches through all audio assets for any copyrighted material, and also partnered with other companies to provide users with licensed music and sound effects. Previously, users were able to upload copyrighted audio with little to no penalty since the upload system was introduced, which had left Roblox at a risk of being sued f...

Monstercat
On July 25, 2020, in addition to APM Music, Roblox also partnered with Monstercat so that their music can also be used freely in Roblox. Music tracks are uploaded by Monstercat instead of Roblox.
Nettwerk Music Group and Position Music
On March 9, 2022, Roblox announced that they will partner with other music companies, such as Nettwerk Music Group and Position Music, by March 22.
Bypassed audios, or user-uploaded audio that contains inappropriate content, have commonly been found on the Roblox platform for as long as users could upload their own audios. Usually, bypassed audios are a product of faulty moderation, but there have also been bugs that allowed audio to be uploaded without being reviewed by moderation.
Before 2016, Sound objects could have a negative pitch, allowing audios to play in reverse. Because of this, many users uploaded inappropriate audios in reverse in hopes that it would be approved by moderation so that it could be played in reverse in-game.
In 2014, a bug was discovered that allowed users to upload audio as a plugin to evade moderation. This bug caused many bypassed audios to be uploaded, although the bug was quickly fixed. However, a similar bug was discovered with RenderMeshes which caused more bypassed audios to be uploaded until the bug was eventually patched fully on April 26, 2017.
Users have continued to find more ways to bypass audio, including slowing and speeding up audios so that they create an inappropriate sound by changing the pitch of the audio in an experience, or leaving sections of silence in their audio in an attempt to trick moderation into approving the asset. In some cases, inappropriate audio has been uploaded directly and is still approved by Roblox moderation.
On March 22, 2022, all existing audios longer than 6 seconds (except those uploaded by Roblox) were made private as a part of Roblox's effort to allow creators to "control the availability, manner of distribution, and value of their creations." Private audios can only be used in experiences that are owned by the uploader or have been authorized to use the audio by the uploader.
Along with this change, Roblox uploaded over 100,000 more licensed songs and sound effects to the audio library for use across the platform. The licensed audio was sourced from many partners, including Monstercat, APM, Pro Sound Effects, Nettwerk Music Group, and Position Music.
Additionally, Roblox implemented a new system for audio uploads, giving all users a limited number of free audio uploads per month. Under the new system, non-ID verified creators could upload up to 10 audios per month, whereas ID-verified creators could upload 100. Additionally, some developers were given a limit of 2,000 uploads per month, but it is unknown what the criteria to receive this limit is, or if this is just random between players.
The changes to audio privacy were highly controversial within the developer community and the greater Roblox community, as evidenced by the replies to the original Developer Forum announcement, which received over 4,000 replies in 7 days. Many users were concerned about the impact these changes would have on their own game and things like the Boombox gears. Some also speculated that this change was forced due to Roblox's lawsuit with the National Music Publishers' Association, although this has not been confirmed by Roblox.
•There is a bug where some audio files stop playing after a couple of seconds when played on the website.
