Make Sure MP3 Files Are Allowed - Some hosting services don't allow files over a certain size and some don't allow you to have certain types of files on your Web site, this includes MP3 files. Make sure that what you are about to add to your Web site is allowed by your Web hosting service first. You don't want to get your Web site shut down for not following the rules or do a lot of work getting ready to add the MP3 file to your Web site to find out you can't. Don't use copyrighted music, it could get you in trouble.
If your hosting service does not allow you to have MP3 files on your Web site you can get your own domain name for your Web site or switch to another hosting service that does allow MP3 files or large files on Web sites.
Upload MP3 File To Your Web Site - Upload your MP3 files to your Web site using the easy file upload program that your Web hosting service provides. If they don't provide one then you need to use an FTP program to upload your MP3 file to your Web site.
Find Your MP3 File's Address (URL) - Where did you upload the MP3 file to? Did you add the MP3 file to the main folder on your Web site or to another folder? Or, did you create a new folder on your Web site just for MP3 files? Find The Address Of The MP3 File On Your Web Site so you can link to it.
Choose a Location For Your MP3 File - Which page on your Web site, and where on the page, do you want the link to your MP3 file to be? You could make the MP3 file open when the Web page opens, but a lot of people find this annoying and some find it to be bad form. So you should decide where you want the link to the MP3 file to show on the Web page.
Find The Location of the MP3 File in Your HTML - Look through the code on your Web page until you find the spot where you want to add the link to your MP3 file. You may want to add <p> before you enter the code, for the link to your MP3 file, to add a space.
Add The Link to the MP3 File - Add the code to the place where you want the link to the MP3 file to show up in your HTML code. It's actually the same link code that you would use for a normal Web page link. You can make the text for the MP3 file link say anything you want it too.
example
Your Web site is hosted at Freeservers
The username for your Web site is "sunny"
Your Web site is located at
http://sunny.freeservers.com
You uploaded the MP3 file to the main directory in your file manager on your Web site
The MP3 file is called "flowers.MP3"
The text you want the reader to click on to download the MP3 file is "Click here for the MP3 file called flowers."
Your code will look like this:
<a href="http://sunny.freeservers.com/flowers.MP3">Click here for the MP3 file called flowers.</a>
If you had uploaded the MP3 file to a folder called "fun", the code for the link to the MP3 file would look like this instead:
<a href ="http://sunny.freeservers.com/fun/flowers.MP3">Click here for the MP3 file called flowers.</a>
Testing The MP3 File Link - IF you are creating your Web site on your computer, before downloading the Web site, and the MP3 file, to your server, and you want to test the link to the MP3 file to make sure it works right you will need to link to the MP3 file on your hard drive like this:
The MP3 file is located in the "My Documents" folder
It is called "flowers.MP3"
The text for the MP3 file says "Click here for the MP3 file called flowers."
Code is: <a href ="file:///C|/My Documents\flowers.MP3">Click here for the MP3 file called flowers.</a>
