      3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

      Why am I getting an error whenever I upload a file?

      a. Check if the file type is AAC or MP3. If it is not, could you convert the file before uploading it? You can find great tools for this at https://convert.io/ 
      b. Please ensure that the file size is below 200MB. If it exceeds the limit, please try compressing and re-uploading it.

       

      Please convert the file into AAC or MP3 instead of changing the file extension. Merely changing the file extension name will not change the format and might corrupt the file.

       

      Can my clients still listen to the audio even if the phone screen is locked?

      Yes! Even when they open another app or browser! You can also start and pause from the locked screen.

       

      Is there a limit to the file size I can upload using the audio widget?

      The file size limit is 200MB

       

      Can my client download the audio to listen to it offline? 

      Yes! Like Spotify or Podcasts, your clients can download the audio to the app and listen to it offline. Learn more here: In-App Offline Viewing

       

      Can I add a podcast through this widget?

      Adding a podcast is not an active feature, but you can use the Scheduling widget as a workaround.

      What is the audio quality of my audience that they would enjoy? Is it 192 KBPS or 320 KBPS? 

      This will mainly depend on the audio file produced from your end before uploading it to Passion.io; we do not process or compress the audio file when it is uploaded. As long as it was made with high quality and not more than 200 MBs, your audience would enjoy the high-quality audio.
