Mobile SUPPORT

• Which file types are supported by Luminant Music?

  Luminant Music accepts audio files in the following formats: MP3, WAV, OGG, and AIFF.

• May I use Luminant Music for a commercial event such as a concert or a music festival?

  Definitely! With an active subscription, you may use Luminant Music for any personal or commercial purpose.

• Are long tracks supported?

  Luminant Music was built to support single songs that are less than 15 minutes each in length. If you have the Grateful Dead’s 1978 Winterland Ballroom show as a single WAV file, it's probably not going to work; that show was six hours long. We are actively working to implement support for long tracks in a future release. In the meantime, many variables determine what will and won't work. If your computer has enough memory, you can probably play a one-hour track. Save your playlist before you try to add extra-long tracks, just in case, and keep an eye out for future releases to fix the problem entirely.

• Which Platforms support Luminant Music?

  Luminant Music 3.x is currently available for iOS and Android devices.

  Luminant Music 2.x is currently available for computers running Windows and MacOS.
