Great Hosting Site - SoundCloud.com

SoundCloud.com

Just sharing an awesome website for those who haven't heard of it yet. You can upload sets or tracks and length/size does not matter IIRC. Streaming is at 128 kbps, but original formats are available for download. There's commenting too, with time markers so you know exactly what people are talking about.

The free account allows 5 tracks/sets to be uploaded a month, showing only your latest 10. Pro account probably takes off all the limits, but who wants to pay for anything these days

It also gives you stats like how many plays/downloads per day/week.

Sure beats megaupload, yousendit, etc...hate downloading sometimes.

It's a pretty cool site for people that don't have their own hosting. I like the player, but it does load a bit slow sometimes.

I'd probably go that route if I didn't get supercheap webhosting

I've got my own webspace as well but having stats on how many times each file was played and being able to leave comments does look pretty appealing.

I just don't know how to write code to include all of the above on my site

I see some ppl are using this instead of the myspace player. Will be trying to figure out the code but there are some decent answers on google. Should be the same for your website N3lly

dreamhost. I got it when they were having their father's day special so I got it for $10 for the first year. After that it will cancel out, but apparently they do this sale every year so I'll just get it again that time next year if they do

But yeah, unlimited space which usually costs about 100/m.

Ugh, I almost did that deal but backed out at the last minute. I honestly don't know why, I think I needed that money for beer. Maybe it will come up again.
