Long time readers are aware that my file sharing program of choice when I wanted to post an mp3 was Divshare. I used it because it was mostly free, easy to use, and basically reliable.
Did I mention that it was mostly free?
Anyway, you may however have noticed that I haven't put up any Divshare links in several weeks, and that all the links I ever posted over the years no longer play. And I have have been unable to find any news online about what the hell is going on over there; they may be out of business for all I know. Basically, it seems that Mr. Divshare he dead.
So -- has any got a suggestion for another service that does what Divshare did? Soundcloud looks promising, but I'd appreciate any advice you can give me.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI used Divshare for quite a while, as well but eventually moved over to SoundCloud. It's a decent service, easy to use and pretty reasonably priced. It's also been around for a relatively long time now and is widely used––which could be a good sign or that they are due for a crash. All depends on how you look at it. ;-)
Good luck with it. I love your blog.
Paul
Thanks, Paul!
ReplyDeleteBack in my bloggin' days I used Box (https://www.box.com/). The service is free, and it'll let you play MP3s after you've uploaded them.
ReplyDeleteHere's a sample MP3 I uploaded a moment ago:

Box also gives you the embed code code so you can put the MP3 in a blog/web page.
