Sign up at Fileden there may be ads. Fileden is an ad supported website. The ads will show up about every month. You have to approve or deny to about 50 ads. But for now, it works fine and the ads are not showing up on my email inbox anymore.
The reason for making this tutorial is to encourage people who’ve said they wanted a radio broadcasting station but couldn’t afford to risk doing it full time can now try it out. Filden and WordPress is a good place to start.
FAQ:
What happens if I upload copyrighted music?
Your account at wordpress may be be deleted, so as your Fileden account.
Isn’t the music you have there copyrighted?
Yes, but it’s shown here under the fair use law. The law is held by a thin line, however.
How are the ads placed in my podcast?
I don’t know, I don’t see or hear the ads yet. They may put audio ads in the beginning of your music. Your users just get the option to download them if you provide a link to the mp3 file. To get rid of the ad you may upgrade with a price.
What the max size per song?
Probably 50MB.
What audio editor did you use?
Audacity, free
I can’t save it to mp3. Why does it says it needs a lame encoder?
