Last night, I attempted to upload my sound, and it immediately said processing failed. I went to bed and woke up, and it still said the same thing. I then deleted it and tried to reupload it, but it also immediately failed processing. I'm unsure if my file is invalid or something, because it plays fine in all audio players I've tried.

maybe you know but these are the
valid file extensions: wav, aiff, aif, ogg, flac, mp3, m4a and wv

I did succesfully upload a sound 1.5 hours ago
Succes.

Alright, so it turns out it was an mp3 file. Audacity likes to do this thing where if you don't include the file format in the name of the file, the file extension would be stripped. I accidentally rendered in mp3 and incorrectly set the extension to .wav. My apologies
