Upload Longer Audio Files Today!
Attention all audio enthusiasts! We’ve got an awesome update for you. Last week, we’ve rolled out a few changes to our audio upload system and pricing that many of you will surely enjoy. We have increased the max upload length and size of audio files to 6 minutes or 10 megabytes. That’s about a 200% increase over our original max upload length and a 25% increase over our original max audio size! Additionally, the cost to upload audio files now varies based on size and length. In other words, shorter audio files should be cheaper to upload.
