Updates to Podhome for Artists

You can use Podhome for Artists to host unlimited albums and tracks on Podhome, so that music podcasts can play them and you receive Value (micropayments). To make Podhome for Artists more suitable for music, we added several improvements:

• You can select a Genre for each album

  • The Genre shows up in your RSS feed as a category, and can be something like “Dance“, “Country“, “Latin“, and “Metal“

• You have the ability to enter a ISRC (International Standard Recording Code) for each track

  • This is a unique code for your track that the music industry recognizes. You might use this to make sure your track is the correct, unique one

Updates to Podhome Premium

We improved several things for Podhome Premium:

• Solved a bug that would result in an error when you switch fast from the Transcript tab, to the People tab (in Episode Settings)

• In the Transcript tab (in Episode Settings), you can now:

  • Upload your own .VTT, or .SRT file, in addition to pasting your transcript text, or using Podhome AI

  • Delete all transcripts to start over. This also resets Podhome AI, so that you can use it again for the episode

• The Audio Enhance feature is now more affordable

  • Audio Enhance improves your audio by reducing noise, mouth click, enhancing speech and more

  • You pay for it per minute used, which now costs 0.03 USD / minute (from 0.05 USD / minute). We updated existing subscriptions to reflect the new price automatically

That’s it for now! Keep an eye on the blog page for more updates in the future.
