Is there a service like YouTube or Flickr but for music (MP3s)?

Asked by zombo (132points) March 9th, 2008 from iPhone

I want to be able to upload my band’s MP3s to a site but embed a MySpace-like player at my blog so my visitors can listen to them.

Check the community at www.mog.com – great group of people over there. Look up David Hyman, site founder.

GarageBand.com says it does hosting but I don’t see that at mog.com, unless I missed something. Thank you both for your answers!

You can upload MP3s to your posts, they have a built-in custom Flash player. Embeddable to MySpace, blogs, etc.

zombo's avatar

Thanks again. So in order to host them there you have to post in their forums and then add an attachment? Is there any sort of guaranty that they will stay there for a long time?

As long as anything on the Internet lasts. They’ve been around for a couple years now and are growing.

Awesome. Thx I’ll check it out!

Not sure about the embedding etc, but have you checked out Last FM?

zombo's avatar

Yes, I thought of Last FM too but they don’t allow you to upload your own music, just sort and listen to music.

Have you tried seeqpod.com?

Theo, thanks. That’s a very cool service that I had not yet seen, but I don’t believe that will work. I’m looking for something that allows me to upload all my songs and then gives me a embeddable player to put at my site and my blog.

Have you tried www.imeem.com I you can upload your own music onto their site and even make your own play lists.

zombo's avatar

uberbatman… good find. I just tried that out and it’s definitely a possibility… was able to upload my music and add the songs to a playlist, then embed their Flash player into my site. Only thing goofy about it is that they put a “download this track” link in the flash player which takes you back to their site to “buy” the track from iTunes or Amazon (affiliate links) and obviously that’s not possible with my own music. Goofy!

Yea i did notice that whole link too but whatever i think its one stupid thing to just deal with for all the awesome features you get for free.

zombo's avatar

Agreed… it’s hard to complain about something like that when the rest works so well. Thanks again!
