Adding audio to a Manuscript is a great way to enhance the book's experience with music or ambience, or even to have a voiceover narration of each chapter! Here's how to add audio to your Manuscript chapters:

 
  1. Open your Manuscript for editing.
  2. On the left panel, click on a chapter.
  3. On the right panel, find the Rich Media URL file under the default information tab.
  4. Paste your audio's URL there.

This text field accepts the following types of audio links:

 
  • Soundcloud direct URL
  • Spotify direct URL
  • YouTube video direct URL
  • Basic mp3 direct URL (i.e. any URL on the internet that ends with .mp3 and contains just the audio file).
  • Anchor.fm embed URL
 

The embedded audio player will be displayed at the top of the chapter when viewing the Manuscript. Check the Guide to Manuscripts for more information on Manuscripts.
