What is your My Library?

My Library is where you can see every audio file you've uploaded, recorded, or created via Clip Genie or Episode Builder. You can rename the files, download them, or delete them. You can create folders and manage your files to make your library neat and organized.

From the Alitu Library screen, you can:

  1. Preview or playback any of the files

  2. Edit the name of the file by clicking on the pencil

  3. See the status of the upload ie. processing or uploading to Alitu

  4. See the name and length of the file

  5. Select the type of file for filtering

  6. Search for a folder or a file

  7. See the date the file was added

  8. Move your file to a folder

  9. Bookmark or pin your favorite files. These will appear at the top of your library. To remove a bookmark hover over the bookmark icon and press 'remove bookmark'.

  10. Delete a file (if you do this it cannot be recovered)

  11. Download the file to your system by clicking the download icon

Deleting your library files won't affect the files in your episodes so you can tidy things up here without worrying about your draft, scheduled or published episodes.

Organizing your files and folders

You can organize your library in multiple ways.
โ€‹

Use the folders to organize your audio files to suit your workflow.

  1. Select "New Folder"

  2. Name the folder (you can also rename folders at any time)

  3. Select the audio files you want to move into that folder

Recording and uploading

You can add new files to your library by uploading or recording directly in your library. You can then use the files in any episode.

We have a 5GB file size limit for uploads. There's no limit to the number of files you can upload or record but be mindful of our Fair Usage Policy.

What are File Types?

You can organize your files by selecting the 'Types' of audio files:

  1. Music: Music files

  2. Advert: Typically audio ads or promo files that include background music with voiceover

  3. Voice Clip: Your standard audio recordings

  4. Transition: Short music snippets you can play in between segments of your episode

  5. Teaser: The files you create specifically to tease what your episode is about

Using the Free Music Library

We have a number of tracks of varying lengths. You can use these for intro or outro music, background music as well as transitional music between audio clips. The provided music is royalty-free and can be used in any of your podcast episodes as long as you're a member. If you cancel your Alitu subscription, you cannot continue to use music from our music library on any new episodes you create.

  1. Access the free library by selecting "Free Music Library"

  2. Select and open up a collection

  3. Preview the music

  4. If you like any then just hit the "add" button

  5. This will be added to your library and available to use in any episodes you create.
