Mastodon supports posting audio files as well as videos and images. Audio is played using a dedicated player if your app or interface supports it.
The audio can be any length as long as the file size is below your server's limit (usually 99mb). Formats are MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, OPUS, AAC or 3GP.
I've attached an example audio and artwork to this post, if your app or interface supports it you can play it below.

in reply to Kevin Russell • • •The image is artwork I added when uploading the audio file. As it's an electronic piece, I added a public domain photo of some LEDs 🙂
The artwork is optional, if you don't include any artwork it shows your profile image in the player.
The spikes around the artwork are (I think) some kind of graphic equaliser display. If you're on a server running the experimental branch of Mastodon, the web player may show curves instead of spikes.

in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •Oh the image is in the circle!
I have spikes.
Also, off topic but #Mastodon
I have written this reply three times because of the arrogant "pre selection for delete" that Mastodon does for replies.
Very frustrating. Arrogant. Intrusive.

in reply to Kevin Russell • •I'm sorry to disturb here, but there is no circle for me just a noise player here.
Must be a (React.js, Redux) issue maybe?

You're on Friendica so that handles the player in its own software?

Rest is gnu/linux one of them.
browser? this one is special.
only thing delaying sound is the noscript inbuilt for trash.

Oh no, sorry to hear, could you explain a bit more about "pre selection for delete"?
Kevin Russell
in reply to Fedi.Tips • • •When replying in the browser version, all but the first account, are selected as it opens, and any typing deletes all but the first account.
On EDIT for my own posts, mastodon selects all, and deletes on first typing, unless I tap carefully somewhere off the reply box first.
