Very very roughly, one minute in acceptable quality would be about 1MB, so 1GB is room enough for mp3s that last a total of about 1000 minutes or 16 hours.

[audio URL HERE]

Thank you panaghiotisadam

You can upload your mp3s in a free file hosting site that gives direct URLs, for instance Fileden.

(I know about the upgrade, don't want this yet - if the readings work I may pay for it later)

The instructions say I can link to files on the internet for free. Can I create a WP blog just to store my mp3 files and link to them from my current poetry blog?

Thanks

Martin
