Can't upload a public domain song from 136 years ago

Why can’t I upload “Gymnopédie No.1” by Erik Satie on the platform? It was literally created ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX years ago and for some reason, this happens:

Here’s what it sounds like:

Gynopedie No.1 is public domain. Public domain songs can be used, copied, sampled, adapted and distributed by anyone without any permission required. So… Why can’t I upload a song from 3 decades and a century ago? Is it… copyrighted??? :sob:

I’ve also had the same problem with one of Kevin MacLeod’s songs (a popular royalty-free music artist) I even credited him.

Try to contact roblox support about the situation, and if that doesn’t work then try modifying it, or finding a remade uncopyrighted song elsewhere online

I would recommend only using Roblox’s audio library for music, unless you can compose your own - even still it wouldn’t be able to be the exact same piece of music.

Gymnopèdie No. 1 is actually on the audio library already I believe, if not there then there is a very wide range of similar music!

its already in the sound library

I’ve listened to every single one and they are not the right versions of Gymnopedie, some are faster than the original song, have incorrect notes and note volume, or are just orchestral versions
