Additionally while there was a lot of discussion about allowing Zero-Crossings [ZC] files to be uploaded a few years back and the discussion was closed [https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/allow-zc-file-upload-bat-related/6351] this appears not to have been resolved.
Allowing upload of ZC files will enhance iNat. bat call records. Many of the discussion points were from some individuals with little or no experience with bat acsoutics. For example the point was made by one person that sound i.e , WAV files were OK as they may not require “specialized” software to use. However as ALL bat calls are above the range of human hearing as Ultrasound this is not relevant as ALL bat calls need to use sound software for those frequency ranges. Therefore allowing ZC file to also be uploaded will enhance iNat. Bat records significantly. As All files uploaded will need to use bat call software of one form or another. How can this issue be addressed?
