this one is in addition/conjunction with a previous feature request that is still one of the more popular ones: https://help.antisoftware.club/support/discussions/topics/62000183100

and i would also love something like this media gallery: https://help.antisoftware.club/support/discussions/topics/62000183148

but anyway, if you'd like for cohost to support audio uploads, i'd appreciate a vote up, and feel free to join the conversation as well (or make a nicer looking mockup lmao)!

thank you for doing this! the media gallery is also a /huge/ thing that I think would improve the site a lot.

thanks for making this post! i've added a Like to all three of these

Thank you for making this request, I'm really hoping it gains some traction

Edit: As a somewhat related note, this is a great example of how the tech industry/community treats audio in general. It's one of the two senses anyone can use to interact with a device, yet it's a 2nd thought (or 3rd, 4th, 5th, etc.).

surasshu @surasshu7/7/2023, 6:17 AM

yeah outside of tumblr (and of course soundcloud and other places specifically for music/audio), i've never really seen a website cater to musicians in this way. would definitely be cool!

Axel @Actyl7/7/2023, 3:38 AM

It would be nice! I recognize that hosting costs are an issue, though.
Currently I put stuff up on audio.com and link it here, but it's not a perfect solution.

Not sure why it’d be harder than image uploads? Same cap I’d assume.

surasshu @surasshu7/7/2023, 4:43 AM

yeah i specifically mentioned audio only because video would be prohibitively big to host (i assume) (but also making video is a pain for us musicians LMAO)

~@modulusshift7/7/2023, 6:27 AM

Well they could just keep the same upload cap lol

It’s possible to basically arbitrarily shrink video, you can recognizably fit even two hour long movies into just a handful of megabytes. the results are rarely pleasant tho. Really low frame rate, crunchy audio, terrible resolution, the works.

surasshu @surasshu7/7/2023, 6:38 AM

i can see situations where sub-10mb videos could work (very short reactions, screen grabs etc)!

Scribble Sheep @Scribble-Sheep7/7/2023, 4:05 AM

Ooh this would be lovely! There's not a lot of art sites that let you just post music, so it'd be nice to have here.

signed up to vote and toss in a bit of feedback! cohost hasn't really had a lot of tools to support musicians and the community has suffered a lot for it. bandcamp/soundcloud embeds just don't hold the same allure as css crime posts and doesn't interface with cohost's software in a useful or direct way to a potential listener, unfortunately. hoping this gets some gears turning for some change!
