Maybe someone can help me out…
How do you host sound clips online so that they can be linked?
And
What was that poetry page someone had with Yeats (I pronounce it Yates, is that right or is it yeets?) reading his poetry..anyway I was at work when I stumbled on that and couldn’t listen to it and when I got home I couldn’t find the thread it was in and that was really cool.
Here’s the Poetry link.

Not to sure about the technical aspects of hosting audio files, though I am sure there are plenty who are…hang tight.
Slan,

Thanks for the quick reply 
… He has quite the tone to his voice, I never thought of him as that kind of grisly (for lack of better word) poet.
I do it buy buying webspace and putting them there…others have posted in the past about free hosting. Sometimes, this requires visiting a website, seeing ads, or becoming a member of the hosting service.
You’re very welcome.
Anything for a Fenian
Slan,

For what it’s worth, I pronounce it Yates.
And I’m a first-year English Major, which means I know EVERYTHING. 
I am also a (southern) American, and could be entirely wrong.
I looked it up, Congrats and I are right. Yates it is.
Told you I know everything.
Many Internet service providers offer you space to store things like sound files, photos, etc. Some are more usable than others. I have SBC DSL and I have 2 gigs worth of storage. The catch is that for someone to listen to a clip, they have to download it on the spot rather than play it onscreen. And I think the same goes for links, you can lead someone via a link but they can’t just click and play.
If you have a whistle tune, Chiffs and Slips will allow you to download and it will reside there, but not sure what you are trying to do…
Good luck!
This depends on what media players people have set up and what their various defaults are set to. On my system, for example, if I just click on a link to an MP3 file it’ll play in a Quicktime player that appears in an Internet Explorer window.
Some people will just get the save/open file dialogue pop up on their screen.
You can build players into a web page with ‘object’ or ‘embed’ tags. One of my friends has done this with his Ollie Halsall tribute site at
www.olliehalsall.co.uk
See the video on the left of that page?
As a (southern) American, wouldn’t you then pronounce it “Yites”?
no - that would be more like Yii iiites - add another syllable 
Well, I’m a southern American who tries his best to keep it out of his voice. So I do pronounce it Yates, unlike every English teacher I had in high school… sigh.
My high school English teacher (in rural eastern Tennessee) was Puerto Rican. She taught English with a Spanish accent, but her grammar was much more correct than the US-born English teachers I had.
Update on what I said before. I was checkin’ out my own folder and now you can play stuff on Quicktime at the site, whereas before you had to download. For example, you can listen to my wacky California historical folk group here (fwiw, there is only whistle on the Spanish natl anthem):
LINK REMOVED
EDITING IN: ALL MY STUFF STOPPED WORKING TODAY SHORTLY AFTER I POSTED LINKS. IT SEEMS THAT THE LINK ITSELF GOT CORRUPTED BECAUSE IN EDIT MODE, I WAS ABLE TO VIEW IT AGAIN.
As my earlier downloads were demos of my classical gtr flute duo and included original arrangements, I was always a little disturbed about people being able to take the files. So I made it private and am going to try reloading them tonight to see if it becomes streaming. It might be a file size issue, I dunno…
I also noticed that pdf’s of my artwork (from when I was job-hunting) now display on site.
This just happened over a period of time. One of the better aspects of technology.
I found some of our MP3s on a MP3 download site - put there without our knowledge or permission. We don’t want to take them down off our site - so I’m sure Tom would be interested in how you are doing this… (he’s the computer guru of the family, I’m the idiot tester!).
I wish I knew. I downloaded the mp3s exactly the same way as I did a year or more ago but this time it seems to stream. It may be that others can still download, they don’t tell you AT the site…I wish they had a play-only feature. I know you can do that with your own designed website.
There’s no such thing as truly private data, even when you make it
available only for streaming. buddhu mentions the tag, and that
will stop the casual downloader, but the data still ends up on the
computer, and there are ways a determined user can grab your data,
I’m afraid.
