Do you have the song on your computer? Don’t worry, as you can drag it directly to your post. Thankfully, Instagram allows you to drag many songs at the same time. However, you must ensure that the total file size doesn’t exceed 4 Gigabytes (GB).
4. Add a caption
Would you like to add a caption before posting? Fortunately, for you, Instagram permits you to add either text or emoji to your Instagram post.

My Take
Now that you know how to add music to Instagram posts we need to set the record straight. Instagram doesn’t allow any of its users to post unlicensed music. The US-based social media platform won’t hesitate to remove any music that infringes on the owner’s copyright. Therefore, we urge you to respect this policy to avoid account limitations or suspension.
