We’ve been waiting for just a “few years” for public audios…
Roblox is for sure totally “unaware” of incoveniences…

This is not a update, this is a downgrade from Roblox’s trademark Bad Ideas Team™.

You’re more than allowed to use your own audio on Roblox? If song that you’ve purchased license to and which you’ve uploaded got moderated, contact Roblox at songclearance@roblox.com with the assed id and the license.
If you’re referring to use of stolen songs, e.g. using converters from services such as YouTube, it’s a simple and logical no. You’re legally not allowed to upload such content, and if found by copyright holder you may face legal problems, as well as your Roblox account getting moderated.
If you wish to public your songs to Roblox to be accessible to everyone, you have to use a distributor. For the current time being there are 2 open options:
There are currently no other ways for your music to be publicly available to others on Roblox.

I just tried Clippsly. It said I need a plus membership to upload a soundtrack, as well as the checkboxes say what I upload will not be added to Roblox.
I just want to use a 6 second sound effect in other games. I do not want to release a song or music or an album. just a sound effect. Roblox allowed sound effects to stay up after the removal update, but they refuse to let any new ones get uploaded.

Is your sound effect being classified as Audio/Music on upload? As far as I know Roblox doesn’t let sound effects with musical chimes through.
on roblox it says its approved for distribution, yet i still need the experience creator to have it in their inventory, have team create access, be friends with, or be manually added permission to be able to use it in a game. it says its audio / sound effect.
Last time I tried using it in a game, only I could hear it

I know what’s happening. User-uploaded sound effects do not work the same way as audio distributed to Roblox through third parties. When you put a sound effect on sale, you make it publicly available in the Creator Store for others to get and use in their experiences. However, this does not automatically allow the audio to be played in any Roblox experience, except for those that the owner has in their inventory (excluding distributed audio)
Yes I know that. I’ve had this issue for a few years now. I want to be able to use sound effects in other games. roblox allowed all other sound effects that existed prior to the update to stay up, why can they not allow new ones to get uploaded? I really hate that because I was a few months late to uploading an asset, now I can never use it for its intended purpose

They do allow new ones to get uploaded. I’ve successfully uploaded sound effects to my own account, then used the “distribute on creator store” option, and used those assets in other games. This should’ve been made possible some point around Jan 30, as indicated here:
Are you sure you’re enabling “Distribute on Creator Store” on your sound effects, and are you certain your sound effects are classified as “Audio / Sound Effect” on the store? Both are vital for them to be able to be used across the platform.
oh my god, i will check right now, ive been looking everywhere almost daily and somehow missed that message. thank you so much.
We’re approaching the three year mark. Still, not all of the restrictions have been lifted. I’ve heard they’re getting rid of the add-to-inventory requirement for SFX and Distrokid, but this is not enough; we have not gotten clear info on whether we will ever again be able to distribute music, narration, and longer SFX directly through Roblox like we could in the past. I’m surprised they have not even tried to erase mentions of this disaster of a “temporary” change that occurred three years ago with only 13 days notice and no warning emails sent.
As of today, Roblox is a far cry from the most trusted platform for creativity and play.
Hello?

Will they ever bring back some 7 seconds audio that they fasely made private when the update released?
This update is a complete disaster.
my games had many sound effects that were required for the game to work properly.
i wasnt able to update the game.
and i wasnt even NOTIFIED via email/messages about this update.
The result: more than ten audios are now complete lost medias and will probably never be usable again …
despite them being 7 seconds.
roblox could also face legal reasons (lawsuits) about the fact that they removed what we have spent money for.
roblox is greedy.
roblox clearly doesnt care about us…
all they want is the goofy metaverse like platform.
What they have done has inpacted million and million of games.
THREE YEARS have passed
in three years they could have “fixed” the issue by making audios that should have been public public… but they did not.
it is obvious that they will do the same thing with decals/meshes/textures soon… it is only a matter of time before they do it

Currently it is impossible to filter by music creator (and I do mean creator, not uploader) and keywords at the same time. Can this functionality be added? Its a major drawback of the current system. A work around is editing the URL like follows: https://create.roblox.com/store/audio?artistName=Tobu&keyword=Candyland
3rd year anniversary of this update 
hello theovert, with yeehaw.mp3. we will never know what yeehaw.mp3 is
