How to Make a Link for Songs to Play
Creating links for songs to playback online is considered file hosting. The hosting process requires that songs be uploaded and published to the Internet to generate links for music playback online. This hosting process is simple, as online hosting resources are free for public use without any subscriptions needed. Uploading to make a link for a song takes approximately two minutes.

Tips & Warnings
Copy and paste duplicates of all of your generated links to your NotePad or a desktop publishing application for your own records. If you do not have an account with the hosting site you're using, the link will be lost if you leave the webpage, as there will be no record of the upload.
The MP3 format is highly recommended for uploading songs. MP3 is the universal song file format on the Internet. Some websites may not support song files formatted in other formats.
Songs must be stored to the computer at the time you prepare to upload.
Do not refresh or click on the screen while the upload process is in progress. You may abort or tamper with the progress of the upload.
Only a certain amount of space will available when you do not have a registered account with the hosting site you are using. (See resources for a list of free hosting sites. The amount of space for unregistered users will be listed next to each hosting site link.)
