Fix an audio upload problem

2 min readUpdated 14 July 2026

Most upload problems come from the file format, file size, recording length, or an interrupted connection.

Check the file first

  • Confirm the file ends in .mp3 or .m4a.
  • Confirm it is no larger than 400 MB.
  • Confirm the recording is no longer than 7 hours.
  • Play several parts of the file and make sure voices are audible.
  • If you have separate tracks, mix them into one file.

Changing a filename from .wav to .mp3 does not convert the audio. Use an audio converter and export a new MP3 or M4A file.

Try the upload again

  1. Return to Create a session.
  2. Use a stable internet connection.
  3. Keep the browser tab open until the upload completes.
  4. Avoid starting the same upload in several tabs.

If audio has already been accepted for that session, it cannot be replaced. Create a new session for the corrected file.
