Now there's times when you record an audio and want to share it. What do you do? Uhh,, umm.... Yup. exactly. There's no reliable, easy-to-use app to share audio files (not music).
So, this is a web/mobile app for easily uploading and sharing audio files, and playing them. I don't have a full plan laid out, but I'll work on it for sure.
My 12-yr-old had a similar idea of "snap chat audio" which he and a buddy published as an app [0]. Seems a bit different than what you're looking for, which is more like Soundcloud?
I first read that as ardour[1], which seemed like a terrible way to pass audio around (big project files in email?). I wonder if that confusion is what motivated them to change their name.
again not music but audio files. sure there isn't a sure shot way of stopping people from sharing music, but there are some things that can be done. for example, max time limit can be set to 60 sec for each audio file.
Soundcloud has a nice culture. I go there both to discover music and to listen to music I've liked. It's different than imgur but I think that partly is just due to the fact that it takes anywhere from 3 minutes to an hour to experience each 'piece' compared to an image which you can digest in a few seconds and flip through a bunch when you need to burn a minute or two.
debatable. soundcloud has community as well, you just might not have gotten into it yet if you simply get linked or listen to stuff from the embedded player.
The issue with this is the increasing number of people on mobile devices and variety of device types.
Worst case (and sadly most common one):
You share the dropbox link, the recipient clicks on it, it opens the browser, triggers a download, he has to choose a download location, download vanishes or takes a few seconds that are spent doing something else, worst case: the person forgets about the file / best case: he digs ups a file manager, navigates to the downloaded file and opens it, player selection...maybe...and all that for a 5-15s just audio-greeting message :/
It should just work out of the box.
People seem to use Messengers for that. Like Whatsapp, which play back recorded or attached Audio.
But yet this is only mobile.
It's an "Imgur for audio files".
