How can I provide a sample url.
RSS Feed Media Links
If you are using an RSS feed to distribute your audio, check if your feed provider allows direct access to media files.
Access the RSS feed URL and look for the tag, which typically contains the link to the audio file. It will look like this:
<enclosure url=”https://yourdomain.com/path/to/yourfile.mp3” length=”123456″ type=”audio/mpeg” />
Use the url attribute from the tag as your direct link to the audio file.
Test: Paste the URL into your browser to ensure it plays correctly.
Personal Website Hosting
Upload: Use an FTP client or your web host’s file manager to upload the audio file to a public directory (e.g., public_html).
Permissions: Ensure file permissions are set to 644 for public access.
Direct URL: Construct the URL to access your audio file. It should look like this:
“https://yourdomain.com/path/to/yourfile.mp3”
Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
Replace /path/to/yourfile.mp3 with the actual path and filename of your uploaded audio file.
Test: Verify the URL in your browser to ensure it plays correctly.
Archive.org
Create a free account and upload your audio file.
Files are typically set to public access by default.
Get a direct link to your file (e.g., https://archive.org/download/yourfile.mp3).
Test: Ensure the link works and the audio file is accessible.
AWS Free Tier (Amazon S3)
Sign up for the AWS Free Tier.
Create an S3 bucket and upload your audio file.
Make Public: Follow this specific AWS guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1Tu0yKmDKU) on making an S3 object public for detailed instructions.
Obtain the public URL (e.g., https://your-bucket-name.s3.amazonaws.com/path/to/yourfile.mp3).
Google Cloud Storage (Free Tier)
Sign up for Google Cloud Free Tier.
Create a Cloud Storage bucket and upload your audio file.
Make Public: Set permissions to allow public access. Follow this Google Cloud guide (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoVbGE0HrRA) on how to make a file publicly accessible.
Get the public URL (e.g., https://storage.googleapis.com/your-bucket-name/path/to/yourfile.mp3).
