How to Send Music by Email Saved on a Computer
With most email accounts, you can send and receive messages with message attachments. These attachments can be just about any kind of file as long as it is not larger than the email server allows (often limited to 10 megabytes). If you want to send a music file that is already saved onto your computer, you can attach it to an email message just like any other file.

Tips & Warnings
It is possible to attach iTunes music onto your email. To attach the content you need to open your iTunes playlist in the "Attachment" search window and select the song you want in the email.
As long as the music does not have a copyright on the track, you should not have an issue sending the songs (such as if it is your own personally created music). However, it is illegal to send and share music that has a copyright protecting the content (such as studio recordings). You could be prosecuted for sending and giving copyright protected music to other people.
