thanks Hugh


Hugh,

May I suggest you look at +++ SoundCloud +++ , +++ SoundClick +++ and +++ BandLab +++ then choose which one you like best. I'm a member of all three. Of the three I like SoundCloud the best. SoundCloud is easy to upload songs to, SoundCloud lets you upload wav files and has an attractive and easy to use player. SounClick has a much simpler user interface but seems to delete content without warning. BandLab is built around music collaboration so if you want to collaborate with others you can find others with the same interest you have.

If you want something more private, try +++ 4Shared.com +++ . 15 GBs of free cloud storage. You provide links to the people you want to hear your music. It uses a browser media player or people can select to download the music file.

Of all the choices I've listed I'd start with SoundCloud. It does what you want, is free and many people have heard of it. The bad news is it is losing money (so is SoundClick but it's no longer a major player like it use to be) so you can never tell when the site might close; but it hasn't so far.

CD Baby, Bandicamp and ReverbNation are structured more for supporting acts that sell music, merchandise and tour. There's just a lot of features you'll likely never use.
