Um... thats because you aren't putting in proper URLs. You're trying to load the music from your computer which WON'T work. You need to find music URLs that are already uploaded to the web.

Try here: http://cdzlimited.org

[MewxIchigo]

umm u need URL not those...u can't upload the songs that are on ur computer...get the one from www.singingfish.com or windowsmedia.com or maybe www.espew.com....

[areyounervous315]

well whenever I hear music from the web it doesn't sound good, is there a way I can host my own music?

[shortvi3tlaydee]

you can upload your music at http://www.freehomepages.com plz dont double post

theres lots of music sites in the big book of resources BBoR
