  • Slideshare presentations
  • Soundcloud audio
  • SpeakerDeck presentations

In addition, special code has been added to support similarly for:

  • Adobe Express (formerly “Spark”) Pages and Videos
  • Internet Archive audio or video

Media can also be added by any direct URL to audio in mp3, ogg, or m4a formats or jpg, png, or gif images. Site owners can also enable an upload button for image and sound files in mp3, ogg, or m4a (audio) or jpg, png, gif (image) as well as a using a built in audio recorder.

SPLOTbox is a huge improvement and enhancement of the first generation TRU Sounder SPLOT.
