Linking to MP3?

[danijoe]

I've been trying to find a way to provide a link to an MP3 for people to download. What's the easiest (and free) way to do it. My ISP provides MSN group access but when I put the file there, when non members try and access it they are asked for a membership name etc.

Do I have to create my own web page or is there a site I can place the file on for free and non-password protected access.

Thanks a lot

if your ISP provides you with Web space, then you can upload it there
e.g. my ISP is TDS.net, and I have 5 MEG of space to store personal web page files for my personal web page (personalpages.tds.net/~username/index.htm etc)

I can upload and store MP3's and pics and link to them

e.g.
if you go to this link personalpages.tds.net/~mstuartev/death come creepin.mp3
it should fire up a song file I have stored

you could also become a member of another music place (sound click... altho there are things about that that bug me)
macjams.com is dedicated to tunes created with Garageband and other music apps -- mostly MAC, but you can slip in
create an account, upload the file... other can hear it

hope this helps

Hi There,

I did a search over at Acoustic Guitar Forums and found some interesting info. There are several sites which will host original music and allow others to play the songs. Some open up players on their web site whereas others will play the songs through your resident player of choice. This link should take you there.

I chose http://www.soundclick.com/ and was listening to my song after about 15 minutes. I'm not sure if the 4 song limit still exists but it's a great way for others to share their music (for free)!
