+
+**Audience**: Adminstrators
+
+## Using track types when uploading tracks
+
+1. Click **Upload**
+1. The default track type is 'Music'

+Now when uploading tracks, they will be set with the track type that is selected. This helps organize your track files by the type of audio uploaded. Example, if you have a group of files for commercials that needs to be uploaded, choose "Commercial". Now when uploading that group of files, all your tracks will be set with the "Commercial" type. Commercial is included by default with LT, but you can create your own type in settings.
