I know that I am famous for bad file storage advice but
let me try again.

The geocites account I have seems to be working well.
No one has had any problems downloading music from it
AT ALL. I think you get 10MB or so max, but that still
enables you to put up pieces long enough for people to
get them AND the cool thing is the geocities servers
don't have that weird file time limit problem/feature
that the yahoogroups servers do.

The only thing you need to remember is that your music
files MUST be linked to from your index page ON
geocities and that if people try to bypass that and
just dirictly download the file without first visiting
geocities (and looking at the popup ad), you'll get
your account suspended for violating the 'no off-site
storage' rules. And it takes lots of mailing yahoo to
get the account turned back on. I know this from
experience.

If you need help with the html or whatever, just ask me
and I'll throw together a lame and primitive front end
for you, or show you how to do it.

I don't know what the deal is with lycos. I spent an
entire day a few weekends back and could not get your
music but I have no problem downloading my own from
that site. I wonder if there is any pattern to it --
people with this or that browser, or whatever.
