Some degree of standardization in audio is necessary in order to maintain audio quality, functionality, organization, and good overall cyber ecology.
- All audio produced and uploaded on Worldbridges sites should be:|
- an mp3 file encoded at no more than a 64kbs bitrate. Higher bitrate files can be exchanged as pre-edited raw files.
- Sample rate should be 22 or 44khz in order for the audio to work with audio flash players.
- an mp3 file encoded at no more than a 64kbs bitrate. Higher bitrate files can be exchanged as pre-edited raw files.
- ID3 tags should include the Title, Artist, website URL (in comments section), and Licensing information
(creative commons licensing info)
Screencast How to deal with ID3 tags - Filenames should always describe the content of audio, date produced, and be unique from any other filename. For example, intern introductions should be named like - jane-doe-introduction-2007-08-01.mp3
Do NOT use spaces or special characters (i.e. # @ & $ !) in filenames. Underscores and dashes are fine.
