Uploading, Downloading, and Deleting Media

Organise your entire media library in one place. Upload in bulk and edit tracks to make station management a breeze.

Managing media is all done through your browser. Tracks, jingles, and sweepers can easily be uploaded or deleted, one at a time or in batches.

Media management tips:

  • 500MB upload limit via the browser.

  • MP3 and M4A (AAC) files supported only.

  • MP3 files need to be encoded at CBR (constant bitrate).

  • VBR (variable bitrate) files won't play.

  • Files protected by DRM are not supported.

  • Sample rate must be 44.1 kHz.

Uploading media

Log in to Radio.co. Click Add Media in the top bar and then Select Files.

Dragging and dropping media into Radio.co.

After doing this, a window will appear. You can select your tracks to upload here.

Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop the tracks into Radio.co.

After selecting your tracks, they will begin uploading. You can keep track of their progress using the progress meters.

After the upload has been completed, the tracks will appear in your Media section.

When uploading your media, it's important to keep a few things in mind to make it easier to find your tracks later. You can search by track title, album, or artist, and for the best results, we recommend keeping your metadata simple. Special characters like emojis or unusual punctuation can sometimes cause issues with searches.

Remember, you can also search using part of a track name – searching by the middle or end of a title works just as well. This makes it easier to locate your music, no matter how you choose to search!

Downloading media

You can download your tracks by going to Actions > Download Track.

Removing duplicates

Keeping your media library organised is straightforward. Identify and bulk-delete duplicate tracks directly from your media, saving you from the frustration of manual, one-by-one removal.

How to remove duplicates

  1. Surface the Duplicates: Head to Media > Tracks and toggle the 'Show Duplicates' switch on the right-hand side.

  2. Review Your Library: Duplicates will be grouped alongside the original track, allowing you to quickly verify your media before taking action.

  3. Bulk Delete: Select the checkbox next to the duplicate files you wish to remove, then click the bin icon to delete them all in a single action.

Pro Tip: Removing duplicates not only cleans up your search results but also frees up valuable storage space for new content.
