We’ll give you three ways to use your smartphone apps to upload rain sounds and other sounds to your audio files.
There are three common ways to upload audio files to the internet, using the cloud (such as Dropbox or Google Drive), a 3G connection (such as Skype), or your home network. I’ve personally found the 3G way the easiest and easiest to turn off, since it’s pretty much only used when you’re at the office, in a car, or in bed. You can also upload audio files to YouTube, SoundCloud, and the like.
If you have a smartphone, you can access a cloud of sound files for all sorts of uses. Dropbox is free for personal use, but you get access to a ton of free audio files that you can use in more than one way. You can also access a cloud of sound files for anything from creating your own music to recording your own voice for example. If you have a wireless connection, you can also upload audio files to your computer.
To get an idea of what kind of audio files are available, you can check out this article from the BBC, which provides a good summary of what you can do with audio files on YouTube.
The last major video-sharing website where you can upload audio files is Soundcloud. If you use a computer with either of Google’s free cloud data storage services, like a Mac or Windows laptop, you can upload audio files to Soundcloud. If you use a PC running Windows, you can use SkyDrive to upload files there.
Once the audio files are uploaded to Soundcloud, you can post them to YouTube, Soundcloud, or your own website. If you want to upload more than one audio file, you can do this by editing them into one with the “add” feature. This feature lets you add multiple audio files as an MP3, WAV, or FLAC file into the one YouTube video.
All of the uploaded audio files will be stored on Google’s servers and will be available for download at any time. The files won’t be deleted from the server, they’re just there to be fetched by anyone who happens to be watching your uploads at the time.
I remember the first time that I heard a rain sound, it was in the middle of a thunderstorm. I was actually sitting in my car outside my apartment in my town, taking a shower. The sound was like a very distant echo from the thunder and I remember being so confused and scared by what I was hearing. I was so lost in thought that I didn’t realize the sound was actually taking place in my shower.
This is a great example of the difference between being an audio junkie and just listening to music. In the first case, you might think, “Ah, I like what I hear,” or “This is great music.” In the second case you might think, “This is an awful song that I don’t want to listen to.
Another example of being an audio junkie is when you listen to music when it’s raining. There are many things to consider when listening to a rain, as rain is one of those things that makes it difficult to listen to music. Rain can be loud, it can be wet, it can be cold, it can be sunny, it can be dark, it can be scary, and it can be boring. And none of that stops you from listening to music.
