An initial topic explaining what audio.com was all about and how it is connected with Audacity is already up in the Forum (LINK below). There are also instructions in that topic on how to join, and how to get your music uploaded into this new 'cloud'.
Do a right-click to open this up in a New Tab.

Summary of audio.com
AUDIO.COM is a storage 'cloud' .. a place for you to put your music. In the Title I have added, "and LINK your music to Forums", but AUDIO.COM is more than that. It is a platform for musicians to upload their music to, and to check out what other musicians are doing. Use the SEARCH facility to search, not only for songs other musicians may have played, but for the musicians themselves. Another useful feature is to be able to 'embed' the music track into a Forum.
To do this in our Forum you have to find the NUMBERS to put in between the [audiocom] BBCodes.
When you have uploaded your audio.com MP3 (or WAV file) to your Page (Channel), look in the top right hand corner for the 'triangle symbol'. This example is taken from a track I have uploaded into my audio.com Channel .. Whiter Shade Of Pale.
Click on that and you see these options. Click on EMBED (don't click on COPY LINK!).
You then see a 'string' of computer Code.
Don't click on COPY CODE!
You need those numbers you can see in the middle of it.
Quickest way to do that is to click with the mouse at one end of the numbers and 'drag' to the other end to 'highlight' them ..
.. then do a right-click and choose Copy. (You have to have your mouse pointer over the highlighted blue bit when you do this to get the Copy showing in the drop-down box.)
Those numbers are now sitting on your clipboard waiting for you to Paste them into the BBCode in your post.
Or, if you prefer, just write those numbers down on a piece of paper so you can insert them into the [audiocom] BBCode by hand.
Next ...
Click with your mouse where you want the Embedded track to appear.
Look for the BBCode audiocom above the posting box and click on it.
When hovering your mouse over a BBCode a brief explanation comes up telling you what to do .. which is what I am doing here!
You then have to PASTE (or type out by hand) those numbers between the two sets of square brackets.
When you have finished putting everything you want into your post, click on Submit (underneath).
.
Click the Play arrow and it will play.
So now, folks, if you are posting audio.com LINKS, can you do them please as 'Embedded' LINKS?
It will mean people stay on the page and can read any comments while they are listening.
