It’s come to my attention that my current host for my MP3′s, FileDen, apparently likes installing spyware. While this applies to users actually uploading files (myself), not users downloading from it (anyone who clicks links on this blog, for instance), I’m still looking for a good place to host MP3′s and transfer my stuff over. Problem is, I want to find a place where I can use direct links, so you can play it directly from the blog instead of using some embedded player provided by the host. I found a suggestion for Tindeck, but they’ve got the embedded player, which WordPress doesn’t like to do. So the question becomes, is that a big deal? Can I expect people to click on a link, or would people be more inclined to listen to an MP3 on this page if they don’t have to navigate away from it to open the player, like how it stands now (for the most part; older posts are still simply links)?
Does this work for another Clyde’s Revenge remix? Do people click on that link, or do they think, “Eh, it’s not worth the effort?” Would said people be more inclined to use a player such as the ones in my most recent posts on this blog? These are little things, but I’d prefer to get at least a little feedback before I move every MP3 I’ve uploaded so far onto a new server.
Also, comments on that remix would be appreciated!
