I'll file that. I don't have Firefox or right-click, but it's still good to know. Also, does that consitute a download? I know whomever I send the link to can hear the song, but have they actually downloaded a file into their computers?

This is probably just something I don't know how to do. I can't read a word of html. The O'Hara foundation probably doesn't want to have to fool with html, either. When they say "downloadable," I'm sure they mean without doing any of the work themselves. I've posted the song on Soundcloud...

Just put it on Soundcloud and hit the "downloadable" button: The Molly Maguires by Charlie Bernstein | Free Listening on SoundCloud Thanks! Next stop: Videoland!

All good advice. For $100 a year, I get a lot of space, flexibility, and autonomy. At least, I've uploaded about 120 mp3s and a whole lot of photos without hitting a wall. Weebly is stupid-easy to work and to make look good, and I get everything I want for about $100 a year. I have 120 mp3s on...

Tried it. Didn't work. I'll try Soundcloud.

Yep, I agree. The application doesn't say anything about needing or using your own website. I just happen to have one.

Interesting. To post mp3s on my site so people can hear them, I just click on them and drag them from my desktop onto the web page and drop them where I want them. So the only hoops are a click, a drag, and a drop. That's three hoops and no widgets or javascript or . . . . But they don't seem...

Just heard back from my web provider. I'd have to pay $300 a year to make songs downloadable. The song is already on Reverbnation.com. I didn't realize that meant it was downloadable. If it does, I just need a video. I just buy CDs and LPs and listen to the radio and online videos. I've never...

Hm. Maybe Weebly (my website host) will tell me how to create that label. I sent them a query yesterday but haven't heard back yet.

Dunno. Good question. It doesn't even sound like he really wants folk music. He's looking for originals, not folk songs. Nonetheless, I want to get to the bottom of it.

Yup. They need to download music to stream it, so I need to make my song downloadable. If you look above, Keith has explained clearly how to do it.

Thanks, Keith! Those actually all sound like things I can manage. This computer has iMovie, so I might actually have everything I need. Yee-ha!

Hm. I have a web site: Home. It has over a hundred songs on it. I'd like to make songs freely downloadable, but I don't know how. That's my question. And - add video stills to what? And how do I move it to Youtube? =O. ---------- Update ---------- I'll check out Bandcamp and see if I can...

Hey! I want to apply for this: John O'Hara grant So I'm wondering about hurdles 6 and 7: - How do I make a recording downloadable? - How do I make a Youtube (probably with some JPEG images fading in and out)? What do you know? Thanks!

Okay, just checked. Look again. I didn't say "Lyrics are all-important." I said: "Bad lyrics = bad song." They sure do! And I'll add: Bad music = bad song. And: Good lyrics + good music = good song. I was commenting on the lyrics because the original post was about lyrics. Good poems aren't...

Yikes! Not what I meant at all! All lyrics are important, but no lyrics are all-important. "A doo doo doo A da da da" isn't great poetry, but it is great song writing. Just as you say, a song isn't a tune and it isn't a poem. The sum should be more than the total of tune and words or it's not...

Just shows to go, there's no right way. I'm adamant about finishing them, too. But when I first write the song (the ten-to-twenty minute part), it's likely to be full of cliches, not scan very well, and have a lot of chord changes I've used in other songs. It's only by spending weeks or months...

No doubt.

Reducing the difference between loud and soft is exactly what I don't want to do! That's why I want a booster: to [I]increase[I] the difference between the comping and solos. Lookit, I'm no pro. But to my lights, acoustic guitar should only be compressed in the context of the compression of a...

I just want my single notes and double-stops to come close to matching the volume of my strumming. (Sometimes I strum hard.)
