Put the podcasts to bandcamp as we have the music up there as well. #218

Erm . . . this is pretty much impossible as far as I can tell. The podcast files are far larger than the music files (and we're bound to end up with longer ones at some point anyway), and Bandcamp puts a limit on track lengths which I neared with some of the longer microbe themes. Even if they can be uploaded, it will take ages to do so, and I have no idea whether iTunes can even use the files uploaded there.

Soundcloud has a much larger max upload size than Bandcamp's.

Oliveriver commented 10 years ago

Could be a possibility, but bear in mind that Soundcloud instead has an overarching time limitation for your account until you get Pro, so it may not be a viable long term solution. Also, can the files themselves be referenced on Soundcloud as so far they have been, or does the link have to be to the player page? If it's the latter (which might apply to Bandcamp as well) iTunes won't recognise them.

I'd perhaps argue that having the podcasts on youtube would be enough, I'm not sure why someone would need the files, and if they really did they could rip it off there :P

Fair point jjonj the only reason I wanted then up on bandcamp was because we had the music up there but since it has a time limit I wanted them on soundcloud but they have a limit on the minutes a user's has for their uploads.
