Here are some troubleshooting steps to resolve common errors when trying to upload audio files.
Start a new session
If you've had the upload page open for a while, your session may have timed out.
Start by closing all Transistor tabs in your browser. Log back in to Transistor and re-try the upload again.
Test your connection
If you have a large file uploading over wifi, the upload may stop if your Internet connection drops out.
You could identify this by testing a smaller file upload to see if it completes. Or testing on a another device with a different Internet connection
Check your audio file
If there has been any issues with exporting your audio file, or the audio is corrupt in some way it won't accept it as a valid file within the app.
Check your audio file has exported correctly by checking it plays as expected before uploading it to Transistor.
Change the file name
Occasionally uploads can break if your filename is very long or if it has any special characters in it like / ? ! * _ etc
Rename your audio file to something simple e.g. episode10.mp3 and re-try the upload again.
Update: We have released a fix for this so this should no longer cause an issue.
Check the file format
If you are uploading audio files check your files have the correct file extension and are not an unknown file type.
Transistor accepts AAC, WAV and MP3 audio formats (MP3 is preferred)
Check the file type
The audio upload box and podcast artwork boxes are next to each other in the interface.
Check that you are trying to upload an audio file using the audio uploader.
You will get an error if you try to upload an audio file to the image uploader and vice versa.
Check the file size
Your audio upload may timeout if the file size is too large.
We recommend that your audio files are kept under 200MB in size.

MP3 players can only play music files in mp3 file format. You can download mp3 music files from the Internet to your computer and then copy them to your MP3 player using the USB cable. For your CD collection, you need to convert your CDs to mp3 music files onto your computer or download them from the Internet and then copy them to your MP3 player after you have connected the USB cable to the MP3 player and the computer.
You can do this using Windows Media player and Rip the CDs - Media Player will create a MP3 music file for each music track. Click on this link for instruction on converting music files to mp3 file format :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r5798418-creating_transferring_mp3_music_files

Open Windows Live Movie Maker or the video editing software of your choosing.
Add a picture to your film reel by clicking the "Add Photos and Video" option.
Browse for a picture on your computer that is relevant to the song you are uploading.
For instance, if uploading one of your band's songs, it would be a good idea to use a photo of your band performing.
Click on the "Add Music" tab on the task bar.
Browse for the song that you intend to upload and import it. Select the "Fit to Music" option to ensure that your video will run for the duration of the audio file that you chose.
Choose the bitrate that you feel is needed for the file, and export the video as a .wmv (Windows Media Video) file using your program's built-in encoder.
Keep in mind that the higher the quality of a file is, the longer it will take to upload to YouTube's servers.
Open your web browser and navigate to YouTube. From the home page, click on the "Upload Video" link. In the pop-up window, browse to the video that you have just created and upload it.
The uploading process will begin automatically.
Tag your songs by entering keywords in the blank field that appears after your upload completes.
Choose words that pertain to the song, such as the name of the artist and the title of the song. T
his will make it easier for others to find your music.
Share your music with your friends and family by clicking the "Share" button underneath your video.
You will be given a URL link to your video, which you can copy and paste into emails or Facebook profiles.
hope this helps
