Adding an Audio Asset

To add a single Audio file, you click on the ”Add Audio” button found at the bottom of the Audio list. You then need to select the type of audio source. You can choose from:

  • Audio File – Upload audio files from your device. Use [Ctrl] or [Shift] to select multiple files or use the Import from URL option and enter a link to an audio file. The file will be copied to your account.
  • YouTube – Use a standard YouTube video link. Players download only the audio track directly from YouTube and save it in their storage for offline use.
  • Vimeo – Use a standard Vimeo video link. Players download only the audio track directly from Vimeo and save it in their storage for offline use or select the Vimeo Live Stream and paste a a Vimeo LIVE streaming link.
  • Stream – Use an online audio streaming link or other custom source, like an RTP or HLS stream.

After you provide the Audio source, you also need to provide:

  1. the Name of the audio
  2. an optional Description
  3. add Tags to the uploaded audio
  4. in the Advanced Features, you can set the Play From /Play Until parameters. In other words, you can set the expiration date, which means that you can choose the exact date and time that this audio will display in your playlist or layout, or you can set the “Always” and “Forever” setting, and the audio will never expire.
  5. click Save to finally upload the audio
