My Audio Isn’t in a Supported Format; What Should I Do?

There are a number of common file types for audio (e.g. .wav, .flac, .m4a) Currently, DigitalArc only supports .mp3 audio uploads. If you have non-.mp3 audio that you want to use, you will have to convert it using third-party software. Two of the most widely-used and freely available options are:

• Audacity, an open source and easy-to-use audio editor which supports a number of formats
• FFmpeg, an open source tool for converting both audio and video in a wide array of formats
  • NOTE: FFmpeg is recommended for more experienced users as it is meant to be used via command line
