after i recently posted re getting my music hosted, i got my song into mp3 format and it is hosted on 'picosong' as reccommended by richard, and i noticed richard posted just recently via picosong, my problem is i can only post 2mb maximum on this forum, and my song is 3.28 mb, and i cant post it, what can i do? what am i doing wrong?

Seems like your song is 1.28 ms too long, was this measured before your weekend booz up or after?
Of course, one could always play another song.
I know, I know my imput is so helpfull and informative, I did think to answer in a humerous way but thought it best to be constructive.

Dave.

Eddie,
I uploaded my song to picosong, and tried to put it on this forum, with the forum player, but it wouldn't work.

So I directed forum traffic straight to picosong.

Eddie, to do this, get the picosong url and stick it in your message, without the [mp3].........[/mp3] additions to your text

thanks Dave, i suppose i could leave the third verse out, and as to why oh why i drink? i only drink to forget! but i cant remember what im trying to forget

Click the player..

You REALLY need to find a host..or get the web space YOUR ISP designated to you..Most internet providors give SOME web space to their subscribers.
You CAN'T upload mp3 files to the forum..they must be hosted.. the free servers are NOT the way to go.. the files can't be directly linked to, and there's NO guarantee they'll be available next year.. making nonsense of any post they're in..

The 2Mb file size limit is only for attachments to posts. Files hosted elsewhere but linked to from posts are not subject to any forum limits.

As picosong don't give you a direct path to your mp3 file (i.e. the URL doesn't end in .mp3) you can't embed it within posts with the MP3 tag, you can only link to it using the URL they give you.

Here is the file "Topped and Tailed" ... the problem is the count goes through the steel intro so I can't get rid of that, and the end could use a little more sustain on the last chord. I've enhanced it somewhat with what limited resources I have at my disposal..

All I can say is :-

These are also hosted on my site :- I don't know who they are ?
I have hundreds of files hosted, but these are puzzling me.

ok ok its me, i admit it, in clapton mode, and my mate breda mooney is in there singing last train home, all done at foxford studios, [my place] but you lost my all time classic 'fall at your feet' somewhere along the way, but i have no claim on the last track, thats isla grant, 'its a dream come true'
