hi, im hoping someone might be able to answer my query.
could someone please direct me to a suitable FAQ for this type of thing, as
i have had no luck finding one..!

i have 50mb webspace from my ISP, and i want to publish my own made music on
it, for my friends and other people to retreive at will.
i have made a small 1 page website and before i uploaded it, was
successfully able to click the links i provided to my music and listen to
same.

now i have uploaded my page correctly, when i tested the page i clicked on
the links but was told that they could not be found....even tho the mp3's
are
in the directory i posted my index.html in.....

any help greatly appreciated!

thanks
rus

Without a url, not many people will be able to *see* what's
wrong

Be sure you link to the files correctly - beware of uppercase letters,
spacing etc.

Perhaps your ISP doesn't allow MP3s and prevents linking to files with
the mp3-extension.

Without a link to look at, you'll have to accept wild guesses.....

If you did your development on the Windows platform, you could get
away with case mismatches (capital letters in filenames, lowercase in
links, for inatnaces) that simply will not play on the Web. That's the
first thing to check. Links and files must have the same spelling and
case-treatment.

on closer inspection, when i click the link for the mp3, it tries to find
www.apvh56.dsl.pipex.com/guff.mp3
does that mean i must make a second page containing the mp3?

does anyone know of a tutorial or FAQ explaining the process of adding mp3s
to their site?

many thanks
rus

RH81 pounced upon this pigeonhole and pronounced:

I'm listening to guff1.mp3 at this moment. I just clicked the link and
Firebird began to play it...

Nice piece of music. New age-y.

Excellent! Please also bring a willingness to adopt this group's
convention of bottom-posting and editing quotes for relevance. See
