Amazon adds audio to cloud-based transcoding service Oct 18th 2013, 16:50, by Mikael Ricknas, IDG News Service Amazon Web Services has added the option to use its Elastic Transcoder for audio-only conversions. Amazon Elastic Transcoder was developed to offer an easy and low-cost way to convert media files from their source format into versions that will play on devices like smartphones, tablets, and PCs. The new feature lets anyone use Amazon Elastic Transcoder to convert audio-only content like music or podcasts from one format to another. Users can also strip out the audio tracks from video files and create audio-only streams. An option that, for example, can be used to create podcasts from video originals that are compatible with iOS applications that require an audio-only HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) file set, Amazon said. The output from Elastic Transcoder is two-channel AAC, MP3, or Vorbis. Metadata like track name, artist, genre, and album art is included in the output file and users can also specify replacement or additional album art.
