2. Click the File Upload radio button for the proper ad unit size - keep in mind that the station player will most likely have only one synced banner placement, either the 300x250 or the 728x90. This is determined by the player, so make sure that the desired creative matches the size and placement of the available space on the station's player. Most player use a medium rectangle 300x250.

Just a few other notes: Images can be .jpg, .gif or .swf. And as with all things online, the smaller the file size the better. Typically ads under 40k load immediately and images of that size retain nearly 100% of their full visual quality even under very high compression rates. We suggest that you never load images that are over 100k because files of that size will take longer to load and may not show up exactly when the audio ad starts. For the best synchronization, it is best to keep the ads to under 40k.
