I have a yahoo geocities site that I keep my writing on and would like to add audio stories to it or be able to link to a place on the web where I can store them. Anyone know of a free place where I can store and link to files that are 100MB or a little over? Or can tell me how/if I can resize my audio files to be 15MB or smaller so that I can upload them to yahoo? I've searched all over Google and can't find any that will upload a file that size at no cost.
Thanks in advance for any help:)
 
Your ISP probably has webspace set aside for you. You'll have to get a program that will compress files into mp3 or ram. You can check realplayer if you're into ram.
 
You can start your own Yahoo Group.

That gives you space in the Files, and if you allow attachments to messages, space there as well - free.

Thank you all for the replies, all good ideas and can get me started looking for a place to put them. They are mp3 or wav, I have both or can convert to either.

Any futher ideas are still welcomed.

First, convert them all to MP3 at the lowest sample rate possible for them to be intelligible and convert them to Mono if they're stereo.

Second, consider breaking the stories into scenes or chapters in separate audio files. WMP and almost every other audio file player can play multiple files in sequence with only a short pause between files like the pause between tracks on a CD.

Third, consider using your ISP webspace as storage and link them to your geocities page from there. (Geocities doesn't seem to have a problem with hotlinking from their pages, just TO their pages.)

Fourth, if you use up your ISP webspace, find other free sites that will let you hotlink, and spread the chapters/stories over several sites hotlinked to your geocities site.
