Adding Audio File

Post by allegroamabile »

How do you add an audio file to a work page? I looked up in the FAQ page but nothing came up.

This brought up a niggling question -- how are we ensuring that the people who have recorded these files have given permission to release them free of charge, i.e. forego any royalties? It doesn't include just a soloist (who maya be the uploader), it would include accompanists and other playing colleagues as well.

Well, I am playing the clarinet in this recording and my accompanist is a fellow student. It's pretty safe to say that this can be uploaded free of charge.

If you upload it, you can certify that you are giving permission. The question is: does our system have a similar way of making sure the accompanist waives royalties?

I dragged him into the basement of my dorm to play this with me. I doubt he wants royalties. How do you upload it?

Audio files cannot be uploaded to the IMSLP site itself, only to external sites (so you would link to the file from IMSLP).
