I was complaining about the same last week. Want to post a picture or a a video? Everyone has a button for those. Want to post an audio clip? Get out of here ya freak! Go somewhere else and maybe come back with a link.

A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

MODERATORS
The real question is can I post wavpack? I went out and voted as well.
should let you comment an embedded mp3. If you want to share any link, you can post it as a post, I guess.
If you mean specifically as the target of a post, you can post a link to whatever you want (well, at least an http/https link...I don't think that all protocols are supported, though I haven't checked).
However, I don't believe that the img-rs instance that Lemmy instances normally run to allow hosting images will accept mp3s. So you'd have to upload it elsewhere (catbox.moe or something like that) that can accept mp3s and then link to it.
checks
At least on lemmy.today, yeah, it doesn't accept it.
The only format that I know that supports audio that img-rs will accept is WebM, and only if it has a video component.
Combining an image and mp3 audio file into a WebM:
$ ffmpeg -i denver-international-airport-blue-mustang-statue-blucifer-1600x1067.jpg -i 11325622-tr707-crash-cymbal-241376.mp3 11325622-tr707-crash-cymbal-241376.webm
Yields (hosted on lemmy.today's img-rs):
The situation may be different for PieFed and for Mbin, and note that not all clients may be able to handle WebM, though the Lemmy Web UI is fine with it.
~~I can't hear shit~~
Silly me I had the volume all the way down
Did you unmute it?
No at first, I tried to edit before anyone notice but I wasn't fast enough
