Subject: RE: Tech: How do I upload MP3?
Most web hosts will allow FTP access, which allows you to see your website as a file within a directory on the server. Then, it's just a matter of copying the sound file from your PC to the server (either to the same directory as your web page or, you can create a subdirectory just to hold sound files) and making an HTML reference to it in the code for your page. There are a number of free FTP programs around. It's probably easiest to save the files in the web page's directory, then the code Joe outlined above will work. If you put it into a subdirectory, you have to point to that subdirectory as well as to the filename in you HTML code. The main reason for using subdirectories is to make files easier to find if you're using a lot of them. The main directory will work fine if you only intend to use a few sound files.
