8) How do I upload audio?

In your account area, click on “Music” in the gray navigation menu. There are two methods you can use to upload music.

You can also directly upload audio tracks to your BandMix profile. The built-in player on your page supports mp3, ogg, m4a and wav files, but this varies across different browsers. Although wav, ogg and m4a files are supported by our player, the capability varies between browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, FireFox, etc.) Mp3 is the most reliable format and will play in all browsers. We recommend converting your files to mp3 files for the best streaming results.

For each file that you upload, you will have the option to allow Streaming and/or Download. Other Formats: We also accept .mpeg, .aif, .wma, .wmv, .rm. However, these files will have to be made available for download or they will not show up on your page.

9) How do I add videos?

BandMix only accepts videos from YouTube at this time. To add your video, copy the URL from your YouTube video's page (https://www.youtube.com/___) and paste it into the “Video” page in your account area. Be sure to remove the 's' from 'https://' if one appears, as this is a security feature and will restrict your video from being able to upload. Our system will also not accept URLs that are formatted for a mobile device: 'm.youtube.' instead of 'www.youtube.'
