Find out how to insert audio clips within your content

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Note: To include audio in your Content pages, it must be in MP3 format.

The Audio widget allows you to embed an MP3 audio file directly on Content pages. You can choose to upload a file from your computer or use an audio file hosted online.

Add an Audio widget

  1. Click the "+ Add content" button.

  2. Select "Audio" from the Content menu.

  3. Choose "Upload" to add a file from your computer, or "Embed" to insert a file that's hosted online.


    Upload: Either click the arrow icon, drag the file from your computer into the area labeled "Drag and Drop Audio," or click "here" to browse and select the file from your computer.

    Embed: Paste the audio URL and click "Upload".

4. Add a clear, recognizable title to your audio file. This will help you easily identify it in your analytics and see how many times it’s been played.

5. When completed, press OK, and your audio file will be present within the content, ready for your readers to play.



Uploading SoundCloud audio into Turtl

1. First, make sure that your audio file is uploaded to SoundCloud in MP3 format. Once you’ve done so, add this file to your RSS feed (instructions on how to do this here).

2. Next, access your account’s RSS feed. To do this, copy the URL of your SoundCloud profile and paste it here. Then, press Enter.

Note: Your pasted URL should be in the following format: https://soundcloud.com/username - you can find this URL by navigating to your SoundCloud profile and copying the link in the search bar.

Under "Result" you should see your account page. Here, select the "RSS feed" button. This will open the RSS feed HTML in a new tab.

3. In the RSS feed HTML tab, search for your MP3 file link. The code will look like the image below. Look for url="the link will be between the quotes".

Note: Make sure the URL begins with https:// and ends with .mp3

4. Now open the Content page where you want to embed your audio file, choose Turtl’s audio widget, paste your URL on the embed tab, and click "Upload". Success!
