Pricing doesn’t look that bad $2.99/month for 250GB($0.01196/GB) but bit of a jump to $14.99/month for 2TB($0.007495/GB), real lack of middle ground there though. I think it is US dollars (hate how websites don’t tell you). Since Audacity is open source it should be possible to create an identical API to the audio.com one for custom storage.
One of the weirdest things I’ve noticed with Audacity is the file size of the projects. I have a project with 73-minute tracks and maybe 100 edits, and the file size is 6GB! Are the file sizes so large so that they can more easily upsell cloud storage?
Maybe they store the tracks in an uncompressed format to preserve quality. But you’d probably want to only use it for active projects to avoid the hike. Though there is potentially a conflict of interest there - as with any project that offers cloud storage. You’d have to see if a patch to reduce the file size would be accepted or not
Yeah, save to audio.com. I was hoping to personal cloud storage, S3 compatible or similar. But maybe not. I didn’t check on audio.com pricing though
