Hi,

I use iTunes to manage audio recordings that I make of voicemails. So, just to be clear, there are no copyright restrictions - these aren’t commercial songs. What I’d like to do is easily share these recordings with others. Is there an easy way to

1. Publish all the tracks from a playlist to a web site? I have lots of web hosting space. Bonus question: If I do upload the MP3’s, is there some handy server-side software that I can install that will let people play them right from the web site?

2. Is there some way I can make the recordings available via the iTunes store for free? I don’t want people to have to pay for them.

Thanks in advance!

If there is no issue with copyright, you can create a podcast for the tunes. You need to store the MP3s elsewhere, but you can publish the list of tunes on iTunes, and iTunes will play them and download them.

See [Apple Podcasts for Creators](http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html).

Depending on how sophisticated you needed it to be, you could probably use Automator and AppleScript to automatically upload all the songs in your playlist to your webspace.
