Best for sharing mp3 webs?

[TheRockDoc]

I have seen many people online post their clips and songs. I am trying to avoid the least advertising stuff, and wonder what you guys think about places like MySpace, soundclick, etc.

What's the easiest and least problematic to refer to people I want for them to check out?

Thanks,

TRD

lightningmp3.com provided by our own NL5

that site doesn't compress the audio even worse like MySpace or Soundlick might.

I've been thinking about paying for my own website.

I would try to make it very simple so that anyone can click on a song title and play it.

I don't really like all the advertising on soundclick...pop ups etc.

Anyway, it would cost me. I use soundclick. It's ok.

Acidplanet is pretty nice. lots of features as well. and also, lo fi and hi fi
streaming.

I use my own webspace for most of my stuff....costs me $4.99 a month. I have a soundclick and Nowhere page, and also have used NL5's site. Just depends on what you want.

My website costs me 19.99 a month. I can upload up to 1000mgs. It was so easy to put together. The webmasters are musicians. They designed it for bands and made everything extremely user friendly. You can click on my link to see my site, or go to www.bandzoogle.com to see sample websites and all the templates. I think the first month is free.

I guess the next step would be if I already have my own website and I want to upload clips, I'm not sure how to do it. Another example would be let's say on eBay- I'm selling a guitar and I want to leave a 30 second clip to show that it's intonated, etc. What's the easiest way? Hopefully, this is part of the same question

There is no easy answer to this question. Each web host is using their own software for creating the websites and each has different little steps to take for posting.

If you want to know how to post on Ebay then you need to read up on their posting rules and use their user interface.

If you want to create your own website then you need either user friendly software which some sites will provide to you or better yet you could learn how to program in HTML(hyper text markup language) which is simple at first and will answer probably 90% of your web questions.

I would like to register my own .com site...but costs are a bit much. $240 aus to register the name. Then something like $250 aus for a year.

I just don't know if I have that kind of coin right now.

I could wait til I am a bit more wealthy.

But I'd like my own .com site where visitors would not have to have any special requirements to listen to songs. Just click and play.

SOOOOO...

Basically I sounds like if I make a 30 second clip then I should post the link to my listing on eBay and then upload it to my own website? Is it going to be simpler than going to Pro Tools and take the session and change it to iTunes and then turn it to mp3 and then uploading to my website?

Geez it seems like it should be easier than this. Your continued help is appreciated...

WOW! Why are websites so expensive in Australia?

I pay $10 USD per year for my domain name and $30 USD per year for my webspace.

Soundclick is free and very user friendly (the administration page). Depending on how serious you want to be, keep visiting other people's site's and see which one you like best.
