🥥 It works on my instance!
I did NOT know about that. 🥥

@feditips Working good in official Mastodon app!

@feditips huh, I see no attachment. guess I need to switch to a different app. damn, I was just getting used to this one.

@feditips I wish more of the apps had an option to play sound files in the background while you continue to browse other posts

@feditips Well, vocalsynth people use it alot. I guess other musicians also utilize this feature to post demo or stuffs.

@feditips
And the license allow me to use in recorded #Unvanquished games.
Thanks a lot. I have too few great CC music.

I used Open Source Magic Mushrooms, for ambiance sound in

@feditips given that you can make any Mastodon adress into an RSS feed, would this hypothetically work as a means of disributing a podcast in some weird way, or have any other flavor of the Fediverse done something like that?

@feditips works a treat - and a nice 90's retro track too 👍🤣

@feditips Using @Tusky the music plays a treat, but there's no sign of the implied image.

@feditips
Such a great feature, I can’t believe forgot about it! I think I used it once, shortly after joining Mastodon: https://mastodon.social/@meganmariehart/109439532291890397

@feditips Ooh... Check this out @JMacD ... This is cool for a #Songwriter #Singer. You can upload music! The other socials were crappy for that! 👆🎤🎸🎸🎸

@feditips How does Masto Web get a thumbnail for the media. Is it embedded in the post?

@feditips Hi from the Elk interface. It renders as a native audio player and the sound is good.

@feditips Thanks! Sound is seriously overlooked on many other platforms (though I'm not hearing any music - when I press the 'play' arrow, the icon changes to pause, but the clock does not count up, and there's no sound).

@feditips Just checking I can link to one of my podcasts: https://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/26693859

@feditips OMG how did I not know about this? I'm a musician! Thank you for posting. I've already used it to post a song I've made here.

@feditips I initially considered sharing some of my original music as audio files here but posting links to it hosted elsewhere works great and it is keeping with the idea of going easy on instances with media attachments.

Even though i donate to my instance monthly i still don't want to fill up @jerry's instance with media files but it is a good thing to know about for those learning from this post.

@feditips under-used?
Why is it even there?
Isn’t it enough that we get videos without subtitles all over the internet?

@feditips@mstdn.social
What happens if I attach an Ogg Vorbis- or Opus audio track and someone looks at my post using a vanilla MacOS installation? Does it show up as downloadable attachment?
Or does the Mastodon instance server, were it was uploaded convert it, perhaps to mp3?
(I don't use MacOS and last time I checked - like 3 months ago - this was a problem).

@feditips the main problem for audio artists is that a simple audio attached to a post just does not cut it anymore in this day and age. so we end up just using video since it just gathers more attention in the federated timeline.
