Media Library
The media library stores and organizes all audio files of a project. Files can be searched, previewed, and organized into playlists.
Supported Formats
The library accepts these audio and container formats:
- mp3, mp2, wav, flac, ogg, webm, m4a, aac, opus, mp4, alac, wma
Files can be up to 1 GB. Larger uploads use presigned upload to transfer directly to storage. See Uploading Files for details.
