Can I send them to the SD?

Or do I have to get a web page and post them there?

Why would you send MP3’s to the Straight Dope?

I assume you want to put up some MP3’s so that others can download them? Are these legal MP3’s? I think that’s the sort of information the moderators would want to know as well…

I often have several clips a day from my radio show that I would like to share.

Also, Some of the commercials I voice and produce are worthy of sharing too.

All original stuff…no Napster stuff

Well, I’m sure if the copyrights are all OK, you would be allowed to post the links. But you’d still need to put them up on another page. I think there are websites out there that do that sort of thing: store files for you.  
And who knows, maybe Tuba will help you out 😉

Copyrights shouldn’t be a problem.

I’m off to find a place to hang my files…  
Thx for the help Mr. Coldfire

You’re quite welcome, Señor Nipples! Try a question in GQ about those storage websites: that’ll save you some time. I recall some members posting family pics and the like at such websites.

Long as there’s no Metallica tunes in there, I think you’re fine, Jimmy. Thanks. 🙂
