I think it's not too much of a waste if I repeat here two simple tricks with #ffmpeg in order to upload audio as video to mastodon:

1) test-tv image/animation:

ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -i AUDIOFILE -shortest OUTPUT.webm

2) album cover or similar:

ffmpeg -loop 1 -i IMAGE.png -i AUDIOFILE -s 200x200 -shortest OUTPUT.webm

* with -s WWWxHHH you can adjust the size/resol. of the video

* instead of webm you can safely use mp4 as output extension - it will create an mp4 with x264/aac codecs

My new album called "Of Judy Stroat" is OUT right now!, and the video for the track "Just Romantique" too! 💥 💥 ‼️

Actually,
it's quite phenomenal that comments to a YouTube video and quite controversional (and meme'd) topic has so much positive comments (maybe hateful ones were removed?), but regardless of this, it's quite a phenomenal intelligent and creative video.

I enjoyed all 44 minutes of it!

Ok I just made this very difficult call. I wrote two draft emails in between but I knew I had to call, had to talk. And it turns out it's really much much better to talk it over, because then you immediately see that you misunderstood some nuances and your nuances also come accross much more precise than they would via email.

Please raise your hand if you ever bought any digital music from Google Play or Amazon.

I'm not giving an extension to AUDIOFILE because ffmpeg can convert pretty much any format - but you should!

audiofile.wav
audiofile.flac
audiofile.aiff
etc...

Ok I found subscribed instances in left bottom floating icon/globe.

@tom79

How does the "follow instance" work, i mean once I follow an instance where can I access that TL again later, a list of followed instances, and how can I unfollow?

if i'd release music on specific physical medium like vinyl or tape, i want to do it with music that is 'informed' by the medium and therefore exploits the material properties of that medium.

as an afterthought (and mental note to self), I should think and work harder in that sense already with releases in FLAC/OPUS digital codec and USB booklets.
