Try this link instead then:

Then click on REGULAR DOWNLOAD.[/b]
Have you considered using something like soundcloud.com or youtube.com to make it easier for people to listen to?
Originally posted by Daemon SinIndeed. One of the easiest ways would be through the Internet Archive at http://www.archive.org/ who will host books, audio, and video files that you have the right to share. The Internet Archive, a non-profit library, will provide free storage and easy access to them. Users do not need to register, but uploaders do.

There's a subsection of Netlabels if you are looking for new music (all non-profit, internet only labels with every bit as much a range of quality as that suggests) at http://www.archive.org/details/netlabels and, more generally, the Archive is a vast, varied resource well worth checking out.

I don't really see FMF as the type of artist who's pining to get his music to the unwashed general populi (although I could be wrong), but if that were the case then your suggestion is a good one.
Originally posted by Daemon SinThanks for your suggestions and taking the time to offer them. As it happens I inhabit hotfile/rapidshare/megaupload world and have premium accounts. In terms of my music I am completely ambition-free and I am not engaged in getting it to as many people as possible. Simply tossing it onto the Culture Forum for fun. If people gird their loins and grab it from hotfile, there is then the stumbling block of them perhaps finding out that the music is bol locks. If they like it, then they will have the added perk of having now obtained a Hotfile Free User Account, which will make using hotfile much more of a sinch in future.

Originally posted by darvlayYou're right, I am surprised. Most of the people I know pimp out their music on various live streaming sites with a good few links to iTunes, Amazon, etc... to buy the tracks or albums.
