Does anyone have a link to a useful and free file hosting server that supports WMA and MP3? File Lodge is down for me and 1asp wont support these formats either.

If you don't need a lot of space (15-20 megs) you can always host the files on a free account/web space with someone like Geocities.

Max space. I have a free account with Geocities right now that I use to upload pictures to link to at places like this, but you can upload and link to just about any file type there. The only down side is that I only get 15 megs of space. But hey, it's free. :)

Yeah but I usually use these servers for MP3s to embed in my website and forum.

Well as long as you only use 3-4 you'll be okay. xD

Nooooooo. Please, for the love of all that is holy, don't embed MP3s in any webpages. :eek:

If you need file hosting, there are likely a number of free sites available. If you want lots of good bandwidth all to yourself, it may be worth paying a little bit each month for a shared hosting account somewhere, or find someone with a lot of extra bandwidth to loan you some space.

I Lawled. Anyways, I agree with this. Never embed music into a website, unless it is specifically implied that the site you are linking to (before you load the page) that music or sound is needed.

Also, you can get hosting for 5 dollars a month pretty much anywhwere. Read the agreements though. Many hold you liable (as they should) for any copyright infrigment held up on thier servers.

I didn't even catch what he was implying when I responsed earlier. xD

Yeah, like Samuraid and bipper have said, embedding mp3's is pure evil.

It's better than embedding WAVE files at least.
