so yeah, i'm tired of this bandwidth thing.
i upload songs, then after 6 is uploaded,
it says i'm running out of bandwidth.

so what is bandwidth?

It's the amount of traffic you're allowed in a given period, usually per month. Say you have 500MB of bandwidth. If you have a song that's 5MB in size, every time someone plays it, that takes 5MB from your allotted bandwidth. If you have 10 of the same size, and 10 people play all of them once, then that's all 500MB.

wait, so what if my bandwidth ran out, the song i have upload will stop workin on a music player?
fixtatik
Yep. And your visitors are doomed to silence :(

wow...okay.

i need to have my music files Uploaded.
and Yes, i looked at the CB BBoR
and i only found one, besides fileden.


what-if i keep making different accounts for my music?
i'd tried with fileden, but my bandwidth was even shorter!

Or, is their a online free uploader that can upload
my music files, and make .mp3's without signup?

I suggest hosting them on your own computer, if your internet provider allows unlimited bandwidth.

Apache2 if you have a linux rig laying around somewhere, Abyss X1 if you're running Windows on a computer that never gets rebooted.
