### **Upload audio files**

feature is suitable for uploading a smaller batch of recordings (ca up to 50), rather for testing or POC cases.

* **Upload**: button for manual upload of data files for processing in formats .wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac
* **Metadata**: switch for displaying a JSON metadata editor underneath it. Once activated, the editor's value applies exclusively to a single audio file for upload.

{% hint style="info" %}
Metadata accompanies uploaded audio files, resulting in improved visibility and extending filter options in dashboards; its data can also be utilized in [parameter conditions](https://docs.borndigital.ai/insights/workspace/design/parameters) and [Digital Agent flows](https://docs.borndigital.ai/digital-agent/conversation-flow).&#x20;
