How to upload MP3 on youtube?

Youtube is a video site and doesn’t allow uploading MP3 or Audio files but still we can host MP3 audio files on Youtube.

Convert an MP3 file or any audio file into a video file to upload that on youtube.

I know what you are thinking… How to convert an audio file into a video file! It’s not possible!! Where the video will come from??

Have you ever noticed that there are lot of videos on youtube that have an image as video but with the complete audio file or some song in the background.

Now you will ask, what’s the use of this?

Well, the best part is that with this method or trick you can host or upload as many audio files you want on youtube for FREE.

Upload the file and get the embed code (Embed code is used to paste a youtube file on your own site or blog).

You need to make slight adjustment in the embed code by changing its height and width setting to fulfill your need… because you won’t like to show the image attached with the audio file.

It will be something like this:

Original embed code is like this:

<object width=”425″ height=”344″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/pMMSR4Ad14g&hl=en_US&fs=1&”></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/pMMSR4Ad14g&hl=en_US&fs=1&” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”425″ height=”344″></embed></object>

and the tweaked or the changed code will be like this.

<object width=”300″ height=”25″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/pMMSR4Ad14g&hl=en_US&fs=1&”></param><param name=”allowFullScreen” value=”true”></param><param name=”allowscriptaccess” value=”always”></param><embed src=”http://www.youtube.com/v/pMMSR4Ad14g&hl=en_US&fs=1&” type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowscriptaccess=”always” allowfullscreen=”true” width=”300″ height=”25″></embed></object>

The above code will return this output.

It contains only audio and now showing the video which is just an image.

Now the big question is how to convert a MP3 file to and video file which is supported by youtube (e.g. MP4).

There are lot of free Converters available or you may also use “Windows Movie Maker” to make a video file.

In Windows Movie Maker just import one audio file and one image and drop them on the timelines. Go to file and click export. Change some settings related to file size.

You will get the video file in My Videos folder under My Documents.

Just upload the file to youtube and enjoy.
