why is it illegal to upload mp3s???
because people abuse the privilege. P2P and file-trading (unless files are in public domain) is theft.

why were mp3s created??
they were created because the music industry and computer techies wanted a more compressed file format other than .wav and large .mpeg files for file storage. little did they anticipate P2P networks and impact of the mp3.

where can u upload mp3s??
come2store supposedly but every time I try it says the servers are down or busy.
personal ftps, but those are tricky.
personal, paid hosting sites. u are allowed to store any files that u want on a paid personal host as long as they are for YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE. u cannot distribute them or anything like that.

suggestions??
converting to .wma as opposed to .wav saves space and isn't TECHNICALLY illegal, although the uploading and distrubtion of any file NOT in the public domain or that isn't yours to disctribute, regardless of format, is illegal by copyright laws in the US. u could also try finding realmedia files and using the code for a realmedia player...

personally??
i use .asf or .asx files that other people host on their own servers or domains. as long as they offer them, then it's ok. there are some good xangas out there that offer those types of files...i've hosted some .wavs before on angelfire, but this was a while ago and they didn't freak out about hosting them back then. i guess they do now.
