How to Get an Account

Because of copyright issues, Audioport membership is restricted to people working at a Pacifica sister station, an affiliate or an independent producer. It’s not available to the general public.

Signing up for an AudioPort account is necessary in order to upload or download any programming.

FIRST STEPS

This is the information you will need to create an account

  1. Your email address

    When your account is created, you will get an email at that address with further instructions.
    Also, your uploads will be associated with that email address. Unfortunately, that cannot be changed.
    If more than one person uploads your show, you may want to create a new email account expressly for use with AudioPort.

  2. The name you want to appear on AudioPort listings as producer.
