You have to have the music uploaded to a server and then post a link to that server. You can't post the music direct.

You can, however, take a picture of it and post the picture.

If you have a cloud account that allows public links to be exchanged, upload it there and provide us with a link. There are various file hosting services that allow sharing of files. Some are free, others require payment.

If you own a website, upload the music to a particular directory on your server and provide a link to the file. But, be careful to not allow browsing of directories for unspecified files, as this is a security risk. I usually create an index file in such sub-directories. That file can be used to give links to the files you wish to make accessible, or to tell "visitors" (bots, hackers, vulnerability probes, script kiddies) that you don't allow browsing of directories.

I use Picosong. Post as many songs as you like. It's free, and you get an address such as the one above for each song.

All this is that.--Al Jardine/Carl Wilson/Mike Love, or maybe Ram Dass

SoundCloud works well for me.
