Browser upload & record (the story continues)

About 10 days ago we tentatively rolled out the ability to record in your desktop browser or upload pre existing audio files. That now works with all audioboo accounts at audioboo.fm.

What we’re now testing, for Pro users (currently The Royal Opera House and Open University but a few more are on the way), is the ability to embed that functionality within their own websites. So, for example, if you’re a radio station and want to easily allow people to send you audio that you can moderate before publishing on your own site and at audioboo.fm. Or a news site that wants a centralised account to which named reporters can easily publish too.

We’re currently implementing this as a pop up, which can cause all kinds of problems in certain browsers. So, I’ve embedded the functionality here in order to be able to test it in as many different browsers and operating systems as possible. You can too, if you like! Note: for this test, you’ll need to be logged into your account at audioboo.fm.
