This may belong in the OPP forum, but I'm putting it in here for now, because General discussion get's more traffic, so I may be more likely to get an answer... A while back I posted this in OPP:

Song: I was trying to make one main melody and variate it for a whole song, like some beethoven symphonies. It's not a favorite, but some of the VST's really shine on this.

My question is, does anyone know of a website where I can host my music, but not make it a forced download like this. I want the actual songs to be able to be linked or embeded without people having to go to the trouble of actually downloading it.

I was looking around for some free web hosting earlier in the year, and found one. I used to use 1and1.com which gave me kick-fucking-ass webhosting with huge space and bandwidth allowances free for 3 years but that ran out.

I found www.byethost.com and the allowances aren't bad. 250mb webspace, 6gigs/mo bandwidth. Your URL will be whatever.byethost.com, it has a control panel, php/mysql, pop3 mail server etc. Not that that matters. It'll host your files fine, through ftp.

http://byethost.com/index.php/free-hosting

You'll just have to make an html file with the code to link to the files you'll upload.

I should Look into bytehost. I'm not satisfied with google pages since they dropped it and are moving to google sites. 250mb? All that for free? Sweet. I might sign up.

Edit: Scratch that, i don't trust any place that doesn't let me make a password longer than 8 characters.

If it's only for music, try box.net.

You basically upload all your stuff and it creates one flash applet that allows you to play all songs.

2GB Free - http://www.getdropbox.com

It works like a file storage place, but you can set it up to have your files shared on the net. You don't get a URL, but you don't need one.

Thanks for the help fellas.
GP, thanks. The URL is not important, I just needed to embed the files so friends of mine, or whomever I choose can listen to my music without downloading it. If I ever decide to put a website with my art and or music, I'll probably just go with GoDaddy.

Yeah... definitely try Drop Box. I have been using it since it was in Beta and it is perfect for you. On your end, you just drag the files into a folder. On their end, you give them a URL and then it always stays up to date depending upon the files you push to it. Its really nice.

MySpace Music works as well.

Yeah, I thought about that, but it limits you to 6 songs and I didn't really want to bother with making another myspace. Also, I initially didn't want the additional random traffic you get on myspace because I'm much more insecure with my music than my art, but thinking about it, I don't really care that much anymore. It's just a hobby, not my profession.
