Simplest way to upload a recording to This Forum?????

[JOYCEfromNS]

Just made a few soundclips of the different PUPS on the RS4. Crude recording to my MP3 player and saved on my computer. Converted and tried to attach to a post on this forum - BUT it tells me it's too large.

Any step by step advice on how to post this for me ( the technically computer aged challenged)???

I signed up for a free account with box.NET, which is a service that facilitates file sharing.  You can upload files up to 25MB, and once uploaded, it will give you a share option, and a link you can paste into your forum post.  If it is an MP3 file, the listener will have the option to listen, or to download the file from box.NET.

Takes a few minutes to upload, and because it isn't aimed at music like Soundclick etc, it is much simpler to sign up to.

Fire me a PM if this is of interest but I haven't explained it very well.

If your ISP gives you a place to upload files, you can put it there and post the url here as Ben described.

Soundclick and Google Docs are two other options for uploading a music file. You might not want to upload an .aif or .aiff file as they can be rather large.

Something to keep in mind when choosing a server is to make sure it has a player available. Posting links is great but many of us who have had to reload hours of info due to a hijacked or virus loaded link won't download it. The advantage to soundclick and other music sites or box.net is they have a player so you do not have to download the file to your computer to play it. Just a heads up, I know I do not download from links anymore and am not alone.

Music files can be put on any server. It doesn't have to have a player available. The player gives you a Graphical User Interface to choose the files, but FTP or any web directory still make the files available, and the .mp3's will be played on your system.

Hi Joyce - the short of it is: You can't.  That is, you can't attach a sound file to a post on this forum.  You have to up-load it somewhere else, and then you can copy the URL or address of the file into a post here on the fourm.

The posters above are suggesting several places where you can upload your music, and then link to it from a post here on this forum

Make sense?

Joyce has already solved this problem and has an upload spot.

Yes Thanks guys especially BenF. Hope to do some sound clips as am very fortunate to have a representation of all 3 pickups on the RS4.
