eara can play your own audio files. Instead of attaching the file to the command, you give a direct link to it.
Option 1: upload the file to Discord
- Send the file in any Discord channel.
- On desktop, click + next to the message box and choose Upload a File, or drag the file into the app. Then send it.
- On mobile, tap + next to the message box, choose Files, then select your file and send it.
- Copy the file's link.
- On desktop, right-click the blue file name and choose Copy Link.
- On mobile, press and hold the file name and tap Copy Media Link.
- Run .
Discord file links expire after about 24 hours. That's how Discord works, and we can't change it. When a link expires, copy it again. Many people keep a channel with their favourite files and copy a fresh link each time.
Option 2: use a file host
eara supports catbox.moe and litterbox, which deletes files after a short time. Upload your file to either one, then run .
catbox links don't expire like Discord links, so use catbox for files you play often.
We add file hosts from time to time. If yours doesn't work, ask in our Discord server.
Supported file types
eara plays a file when it recognises both the file type and the audio inside it. Video files work too; eara plays their sound.

| MP3 | .mp3, .mp2, .mp1 | MP3, MP2, MP1 |
| FLAC | .flac | FLAC |
| AAC | .aac | AAC |
| MP4 | .m4a, .mp4, .m4b, .m4r, .m4v, .mov | AAC, ALAC, FLAC, MP3, Opus, PCM |
| Ogg | .ogg, .opus, .oga, .ogv, .ogx, .ogm | Opus, Vorbis, FLAC |

eara also plays tracker modules: .mod (ProTracker), .s3m (Scream Tracker 3) and .xm

types above first.
Why can't I attach the file to the command?
Discord deletes files attached to commands after a short time, so the song would stop partway through the queue. Links are more reliable, so eara uses them instead.
