Going a really different direction for today's post. This time I'm just testing around with how to upload/embed audio files on Blogspot. If it works, I'll be able to broaden the scope of this blog to include daily practice of music composition, piano practice, sound editing/sound design, etc.
I couldn't just upload an mp3 straight to Blogspot (there is a video option though, which I'll test in a future post), so ultimately it came down to these two options:
SoundCloud:
Google Drive:
(DIDN'T WORK)
I like the look of SoundCloud's better (and how it links any future viewers/listeners to my SoundCloud music account), but there's a finite amount of minutes I can upload to SoundCloud and I'd rather save that for polished works. 173 minutes left with SoundCloud before I would have to upgrade, and nearly 15 GB with Google Drive left before I would have to upgrade. So I think I'll stick with Google Drive for now. But if I someday feel like spending $15/month I'll use SoundCloud's "Pro Unlimited" plan, which would allow me to upload as many of these daily practices as I want.
EDIT: Google Drive didn't work, but I was able to convert the track into a video file so I'll be using that for audio/music files instead. SoundCloud is still my favorite though, so it may eventually become that.
