    Uploading audio

    Hey gang, what's the best way to upload audio tracks to the forum? I've got a couple of tracks in mp3 format I'd like to show off.

    The other way is to create an account with Dropbox, then copy/paste the mp3's into the public folder, then let Dropbox upload the files to the Dropbox server, after that, you can then right-click the mp3's in the public folder and select "Copy public link" from the menu, then all you need to do is paste it into your threat post, that's how I'm doing it at the moment, I need to pay some more money to Soundcloud to upgrade my membership to it.

    Unfortunately Dropbox will be dropping public folders in mid-March 2017 (probably as they don't want the bandwidth hit of acting as a streaming site). You'll then need to create a 'shared link' so that people can see the files, but I have yet to try this and see if it streams audio in the way it does now. You may have to download the file first and then play it back.
