This IS frustrating, isn't it? JPEG Hide and Seek, isn't exactly efficient in this case. Posted by Macintorque (from: 172.168.178.160) on September 29, 2002 at 02:01:32: In Reply to: Putting audio files on my website posted by Ricka on September 28, 2002 at 16:55:15: Well, if you have a PC, then just rename the audio files so that they all end in ".JPG" or ".GIF" or whatever format your server accepts. After they are uploaded, then if you can rename them back to ".WAV" or ".AIF" or ".WMA" or ".OGG" or whatever, then do it. I guess the Mac way of doing it wouldn't be so different either, although one would probably want to keep the type/creator codes as normal or change them to "????" if the server is a Mac server, and then barfs them back at you. If you don't know what I mean by changing mac file type/creator codes, then don't worry about it--it's a technical nerdy thing. The other thing you could do is to email people your audio files. Just be sure to compress them before you mail them if they are not already in MP3, WMA, OGG, or other MPEG format. Maybe you'll find anther web site that will let you store audio files? This kind of problem is very common. Personally, I am mad at websites that let you upload tons of pictures, but not sounds or archives. As long as they control the maximum size of the account, why should they care what format the files are in????!!? Many of these websites are really dumb about that. I'm with you on that one. Well, for really, really, small sound files (I mean really tiny)... you could store them as Base64 or UU-encoded files and paste them onto the end of any TEXT files on your site. That's how it used to be done in USENET. Base64 is an emailable-file storage format.
