An audio-clip alternative to Imageshack
February 14, 2006 2:07 AM Subscribe
I love Imageshack for one-click simple hosting of images, looking for something just as simple for small audio clips.
Been blogging for a while and love the simplicity of imageshack to host images with very little hassle. Last night I wanted to blog some small audio clips - my kids singing - and wanted to find something like imageshack to host them. I am using Blogger for my blog, but tried lots of different services (eSnips, 35Mb, stremload etc) but havn't found anything as simple and effective as Imageshack. Filelodge looks the closest. I guess what I am after is one-click uploading, unlimited time hosting, and a nice simple direct-link host - don't want to have to wait or to have to click through. As they are small audio clips I am not interested in having a large storage provision.
Got nowhere with Google for over an hour, and multiple registrations with possible alternatives, last night. Any one help please?

Looking at imageshack, they allow you to host .swf files. Maybe run your audio files through a mp3 to swf convertor and then upload to imageshack as usual?

Response by poster: They are just snippets of speech so far, so maybe less than 1mb - will look at mp3 to swf - interesting thought

putfile.com? You have to register. It is a one-click affair once you have an account though.

Response by poster: Putfile does what other hosters do in so far as you need to go to their site to listen to the file. I guess I want the link in my blog to automatically play the file using whatever mediaplayer is set as the default - not take me to a page where i can download the file.
Thanks anyway
