Can you watermark an audio file?

This makes it difficult for anyone to rip or steal it and pass it off as their own.

What is a watermark on an mp3?

How do I find the audio watermark?

To allow good recognition of watermarks in the played audio, you need to place the device very close to the sound source (speakers, TV) and hold the device steady for 15-20 seconds. Once a watermark is found, it is immediately shown on the device screen.
