Private links and browser playback
Every upload starts unlisted. Share a track by link, and recipients can listen in a browser without creating a Whyp account, installing an app, or signing in. Downloads and commenting can be controlled per track.
Whyp
Freemium
Whyp is an audio hosting and sharing service for creatives, educators, and businesses. It provides private links, embeddable players, timestamped feedback, versioned audio, and listener analytics.
Whypとは？
Whyp is a private audio hosting service for uploading, storing, sharing, and embedding audio online. Uploads start unlisted, allowing users to share a direct link with selected listeners or place a player on their own site. Recipients can listen in a browser without a Whyp account, an app, or a download, subject to the track’s download settings.
It combines audio review tools with publishing features: waveform comments identify the exact point that needs attention, email notifications alert owners to new feedback, and updated files can replace an existing track without changing its link. Collections organize multiple tracks for embedded libraries or series. Whyp also provides analytics for plays, playback time, downloads, and listener locations.
Whypでできること
Timestamped waveform feedback
Listeners can leave comments at specific points in the waveform, making review notes more precise than referring to an approximate time. Track owners receive email notifications when comments are added.
Track replacement and version history
Upload a new take to an existing track while keeping the same link. The previous audio can remain as a named version; the free plan retains the three most recent versions and Pro supports unlimited versions.
Embeddable players and collections
Add customizable players to a website and group tracks into collections for a library, series, or playlist-style presentation. Whyp lists integrations or publishing support for WordPress, Medium, Patreon, Canva, Notion, and Confluence; WordPress uses a free plugin.
Audio quality and analytics
Whyp streams lossy uploads as MP3 at up to 320kbps and offers lossless FLAC streaming on Pro. Analytics include plays, playback time, downloads, and listener locations for individual tracks and collections.
Player.js embed control
Embedded players expose a player.js postMessage API with controls for play, pause, mute, volume, seeking, looping, duration, and playback events. Collection embeds additionally support next and previous track navigation.
利用シーン
“Client audio review”
Voice actors, musicians, and other audio professionals can send one private review link, collect notes directly on the waveform, and replace a draft without sending a new URL to the client.
“Teaching and feedback”
Teachers can share recordings or lessons and use timestamped comments to identify exact passages for discussion. Browser playback removes the need for students to install a dedicated app.
“Podcast and production workflows”
Podcasters and producers can share long episodes, rough mixes, or successive edits. Pro supports uploads of up to five hours and preserves unlimited track versions for ongoing iteration.
“Embedded audio libraries”
Churches, educators, creators, and site owners can organize tracks into collections and embed a player in a website or supported platform. Updating a track can keep the published link current.

What happens when I replace an uploaded track?
The existing track link remains the same while the new audio becomes the current take. The replaced audio can remain available as a version. Free accounts keep the three most recent versions, while Pro accounts keep unlimited versions.
