They will not be added to the <em>overall<\/em> stats.<\/p>\n<h2>File Encoding<\/h2>\n<p>Spotify requires an MP3 file. However, many of our producers prefer to use an M4A.<\/p>\n<p>Libsyn has always recommended the use of MP3 and as more podcast directories require MP3. Encoding your media using an MP3 will give it the widest possible compatibility.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Libsyn will be <em>transcoding<\/em> any M4A file to an MP3 for any show hosted at Libsyn who is submitted to Spotify, regardless of the account level.<\/p>\n<p>While we still recommend encoding as an MP3, if you choose to use an M4A instead, we will ensure your files will still work with Spotify and remain as an M4A for all of the other places!<\/p>\n<h2>File Replacements<\/h2>\n<p>As Spotify previously reposted content, when you replaced a file on your Libsyn hosted episode, that file may not have updated in Spotify.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is no longer the case. With this update, Spotify will be serving the file from Libsyn instead of reposting the file, so updates will be much smoother in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>YAY!<\/p>\n<h2>What if I Have More Questions?<\/h2>\n<p>If you have any additional questions, please reach out to our friendly support team at support@libsyn.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Updates are coming to the connection between Libsyn and Spotify!
