will i go to jail for this?

i have finally found a way to upload music on my blog (or at least make them available for downloading so i can share them with visiting friends).

if you will check my playlist on the sidebar, you'll notice i have links to some songs, including shawn colvin's never saw blue like that. this is the song of the moment for me, and by making it available here i hope friends will be able to find out just why i love the song so much.

of course these are mp3s, and i just hope the wuhwuhwuh police aren't droppin by anytime soon.

the discovery came as i was bloghopping during lunch break today and found this website called yousendit.com, where they allow you to send email messages alerting someone that a file has been uploaded on yousendit's server for the recipient to download.

the bad news is that the files don't stay on yousendit's server for long. in fact it's only there for 7 days or until 25 downloads of the file has been reached, whichever comes first. but still, i can always resend my mp3s, right? (though of course that means my fingers will be strained again doing all the coding necessary for the links. ugh).

emailing my mp3s to my gmail account allowed me to get a url where the mp3s i attached can be downloaded, and with url in hand, i can link them instead to my blog. neat huh? hardly an original thought, one i ripped off someone else's blog, and oh boy, am i thankful for that person. i wonder if he's cute.... *giggle*
