@FediTips thanks; I didn't know I could post audio files! That simplifies things as I won't have to make a video every time I post music.

Do you know what they're actually hosted as? I know with audio(on my instance anyway), it gets transcoded to 128k mp3. Kind of annoying when I upload a nice opus file, and it gets needlessly degraded. Not the end of the world course, but annoying just the same.

It's not documented, but I think they are transcoded to formats that help to keep the server running costs low.
