COuld always just go ahead and get the upgrade here and host the files onsite.

So I imagine that any hosting site that does not allow hotlinking to files will have this happen.

I was thinking that it had to do with the URL. But today I noticed that zshare says that it does not allow hotlinking. So I added 2+2.

You can only link to the page on zshare, because it serves ads. Makes sense I guess. They offer free file hosting up to 100MB for each file, and there is no membership required to upload. The catch is that they want the page clicks for their Google ads.

So now I have to find hosting that allows hotlinking to mp3s, but does not requires membership.

I think it may have to do with URLs. I have tried one with a short URL and it works fine. But one with a long URL seems to not work. Masking a URL with Tiny URL did not work either.

Archive.org works for instance (has short URL), but Zshare.net (has very long URL) did not. I'm trying to experiment with some hosting sites to see which works best. I will post my findings after I have collected enough data.

I've been using them for a while, and I don't think there are any limitations whatsoever --at least, I have never seen anything about it.

No offense to wordpress.com for trying to make a buck. Matt is doing a great job at his business and I totally support his entrepreneurial spirit. It's what makes America tick. In fact, I have bought an upgrade for custom css. Capitalism totally rocks.

But archive.org is what I plan to use for hosting large files, especially because its free without limitation.

Box.net is good too, but it only allows 1 GB of storage per account.

It's completely free. I uploaded some of my remixes there over a year ago, and they are still all there. They have also been indexed by Google, so I am thoroughly happy with the free service.

You can easily podcast with this service.

Unlike mp3-upload.net, your .mp3 files don't have to be in English for them to host your files.

TheStatusJoe has a tutorial on how to do this.

So I'm not too sure if its really as good as it claims, but so far I'm pretty satisfied. =) Its free and when you register, you'll get 500MB, with max 50MB upload file size. And it can give you the url link and just paste it onto your entries =D Hope this helps

I had the same problem figuring out where to host songs, as can be seen in one of my posts from last month.

I have been registered for some time and it will let me, but it won't let new people do it. They can only put into their account files that are hosted elsewhere on the internet, so if you can find what you want as an MP3 online somewhere, you can copy it to your Odeo account. Otherwise you can't.
