🛠️ Recommended Fix Path

Option 1: Generate Audio with AI (Recommended)

Use ElevenLabs, OpenAI TTS, or Google Cloud TTS to generate calm, narrated audio files. Upload them to Base44 storage and link them to AudioContent records.

  • Consistent voice quality
  • Scalable to 50+ tracks
  • Can iterate scripts easily
  • Culturally tunable tone

Option 2: Use Existing Royalty-Free Audio

Source pre-recorded calm audios from libraries like Epidemic Sound, Pixabay Audio, or custom recordings.

  • Faster to launch
  • Professional quality
  • May lack Araba's personalized tone

Next Steps:

  1. Choose audio source (AI-generated TTS recommended)
  2. Generate or upload 5 core tracks as proof-of-concept
  3. Update AudioContent records with valid audio_url
  4. Test playback on mobile Safari and Android
  5. Expand library to 25+ tracks across all categories
