Here is a simple way to change that.</p><p> </p><p>Speaking of scratching heads, why hasn't Creators community implemented any of the new gadgets for us to test here? I'd love to do a podcast or a video series on how to do stuff...</p><p>Anyway...audio...</p><p>My community has very little use for music because it is a community of practice. Instead, Podcasts are more useful to the community. Therefore I wanted to change one of the Genres (example: Alternative) to Podcast. </p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}1037561935,RESIZE_1200x{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}1037561935,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="710"/></a></p><p>You simply go to the Language Editor and Search for the term "Alternative" or any of the other Genres listed and replace it with your preferred Term- in my case "Podcasts"</p><p> </p><p>I can imagine this being useful to other communities which specialize in specific kinds of Music like Reggae or Metal in order to change the list to be more appropriate for narrowing down sub genres.</p><p><a href="https://creators.ning.com/members/JFarrow" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Let me know</a> if you ever need help with your community.

<p>Here's something that I discovered today which may make your life easier when trying to add music to your ning network, but cannot get around the upload limits. This solution will allow you to upload full length podcasts, radio shows and LARGE audio files.</p>
<p> </p>
<h3>The Process:</h3>
<p><strong>Step One:</strong> Upload an audio file to your Google Drive Account and then go to the file inside the drive browser. </p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/554019?profile=original"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/554019?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"></a></p>
<p><strong>Step Two:</strong> (<em>Works really well using Firefox</em>)Now Click Download and you should see it downloading inside your browser...now here is the trick: Right click on where it is downloading and click Copy Download Location or <strong>Copy Source URL</strong> > Then click cancel download. Now go over to notepad and paste that URL for the next part. Should look something like this:</p>
<p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://doc-14-50-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/o4i44a00ltj285itshdsm99qc5ns1pa0/qstnm8o2iv2t1f9aat4fg2n7ks6ggghl/1360022400000/04703270868129371595/04703270868129371595/0B6bBKXhAxENpTkhuaUphcmtYWms?e=download">https://doc-14-50-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/o4i44a00ltj285itshdsm99qc5ns1pa0/qstnm8o2iv2t1f9aat4fg2n7ks6ggghl/1360022400000/04703270868129371595/04703270868129371595/0B6bBKXhAxENpTkhuaUphcmtYWms?e=download</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Step Three:</strong> Now remove everything after the last ? and replace it with <strong>&type=.mp3</strong></p>
<p><strong>Should now look like this:</strong></p>
<p><strong><a rel="nofollow" href="https://doc-14-50-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/o4i44a00ltj285itshdsm99qc5ns1pa0/qstnm8o2iv2t1f9aat4fg2n7ks6ggghl/1360022400000/04703270868129371595/04703270868129371595/0B6bBKXhAxENpTkhuaUphcmtYWms?">https://doc-14-50-docs.googleusercontent.com/docs/securesc/o4i44a00ltj285itshdsm99qc5ns1pa0/qstnm8o2iv2t1f9aat4fg2n7ks6ggghl/1360022400000/04703270868129371595/04703270868129371595/0B6bBKXhAxENpTkhuaUphcmtYWms?</a><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>&type=.mp3</strong></span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Step Four:</strong> Go to your profile (provided you have music player on your network) and Click +Add Music. Then on that page click +Add Music by URL Add that entire URL to the first place to insert an address. On the next screen upload an image which represents that audio file and save. You might like to click edit one last time and you'll see a new option called MORE which will allow you to add more relevant info about the track for search engines.. If you like you can try adding the URL above to test. It is a reggae radio show my friend <a rel="nofollow" href="http://rasdave.com" target="_blank">Ras Dave</a> plays on Wednesdays from Noon to 2pm.</p>
<p>ENJOY long playing podcasts and radio shows on your ning network!</p>
