  • What it does

    Audio lets profiles upload audio, such as songs, podcasts or audio books, and play them on the site. Uploads are converted to MP3 so they stream in every browser. Audio files can be grouped into albums, downloaded, and sold with Payment Support.

    ACP > Modules > Profiles > Audio

  • Setting it up

    In Quota Config, check Allowed on Profile for the quotas that may upload audio. Choose the Allowed Audio Files types and the MP3 Bit Rate.

    Audio conversion uses the tools in System Tools. Check them in the System Check if conversions fail.

  • Uploading

    On their profile's Audio section, members click + and enter:

    • the Title, Genre and Album
    • the Audio File
    • the Cover Image

    To upload a whole album at once, use Create Album and select all its files. Each file is saved as its own audio item, with the album name. Albums have their own page. Profile owners can drag audio items into the order they want.

  • Streaming and downloads
