MP3's on your website? - There's no special magic.
Assuming you have a web site and know how to upload files to it (i.e. the way you got your HTML files and images there)...

1) upload the MP3 file to the site
2) edit a link into the HTML and upload that

If you have a big site with lots of files, you'll probably want to put the MP3s in their own directory, like many people do with images.

The link to an MP3 is just like a link to another html page: <A HREF="wildrover.mp3">Wild Rover</A>

If you have MP3's on your own web site, you can put links into MudCat messages too. Here's an example: Seeds of Love

If some plan to assemble a Mudcat Repository of MP3's ever get put into action, the best thing would be for members to put the MP3s on their own web sites (or a friend's) and have Mudcat store only the links. That way we won't take up gigabytes of Mudcat storage.

Getting streaming audio to work is another matter...
