Hello. I tried to submit my 1 Minute Test (I exported it and followed the instructions) but it says "The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed." I have already tried a different browser and still, nothing! Can somebody please help me with this, I would appreciate it a lot! Thank you! :D

Are you sure you exported your recording as an .mp3 file? :wink:

Watch out for non-English characters in the filename and the ID3 tags - they sometimes give problems during uploading too.

HTH.
Cheers, Ava.

I did export it as an MP3. I even double-checked, followed instructions, and even made a new recording but still nothing. The strange thing is that each time I saved a new one, it wouldn't appear at all when I tried to upload? :hmm:
Now that I try to upload it says, "SyntaxError: Unexpected token < in JSON at position 0Clear"... What does this mean? :help:
Thanks! :-)

It generally means you have been logged out of the uploader. Close the page, reopen and login again using the uploader login (not your forum username and password).

What is the name of the file you are uploading?

There's a lot of densely packed info there, but here's the bit that's relevant:

For test files, select "tests--tests" from the uploader's MC drop-down list.
If you do not select a folder in the drop-down menu, the upload will fail.

It finally worked, thank you! Is this the same process as to how I will submit all my future recordings?
Thanks!

Yes, except you will choosing the appropriate MC folder for the project when you upload a file.

There's a line on the first post in the thread which gives uploading and file naming instructions for each book or project
