Ratings and reviews

I am using full songs within my podcast, so I appreciate that my Spotify account allows full original songs. HOWEVER - please note: If the listener does NOT have the PAID for Spotify app - the podcast will only play a short EXTREMELY ABRUPT clip (as if dropping a needle onto the middle of a song on a record). Is there any way to at least fade the clip in and out??? The majority of my social network seem to use Apple, so I actually would rather they don't listen with the ABRUPT music.

I raised it from 1 to 4 since friends is a possibility now. Weird issue popped up now, I cannot delete any of my older sound clips. After I upload a project, I usually like to delete the old clips to help keep track of things. I keep getting a "Failed to Process. Retry?" message whenever I try deleting them. Odd thing is, I can delete newer clips no problem.

So Anchor has made changes, I like the new transition and the upgrades with Spotify for Podcasters. It's always been easy to navigate. Now they have more functions. My only con is the free promo option that was giving for us to record a 30 second to 1 minute free Anchor ad to place in our show to receive revenue. It was change, but it allowed me to practice creating promo for my show. I wish that feature was still available. Overall it's been a great hosting site. I'm excited to grow and expand
