Mastodon supports attaching audio files. You can attach them with the same button you use for photos or videos.
Audio files can be any length, as long as the file size is under 40 megabytes. The supported formats are MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, OPUS, AAC, M4A and 3GP.
The track used in the example is "Modern Technology" by Xvenox under CC-By-SA

Yeah, this is another example of why third party apps are a better option than the official apps.
According to the github looks like they may fix this on the next iOS update though?

I uploaded a public domain image separately, image upload is available when attaching audio files on the web interface of Mastodon.
If you don't upload a separate image, it defaults to showing either your profile picture in the player or (if there is one) the image embedded in the file.

in reply to FediTips has moved! • • •May be worth mentioning, that attaching 2 MB or even 40MB sound files is already putting extra load on your instance, by disk consumption as well as by dealing with copyright infringements. Since this isn't Twitter and most instances are free of charge, it might be best to keep that in mind before starting #musicmonday or something like that and have every account post tons of sound files. Try funkwhale for that!

in reply to FediTips has moved! • • •What mastodon doesn't support is CORS policy for media files on cloud storage. This file no longer plays on my server after I boosted it. The error is from Google cloud storage. It says the CORS policy does not allow my server's domain access.
This makes sense, kind of. I imagine media sharing among federated content will be a big challenge to get right.
