Tech question: Free audio file hosting?

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on January 14th, 2009

Does anyone know of any sites that host audio files for free? (And don’t arbitrarily take those files down at an unspecified time, without telling the person who uploaded the file, thereby leaving the person who uploaded the file without the ability to provide clients with an audio clip?)

We had a couple audio files on our Electronic Press Kit (convenient for radio stations who want to promote our upcoming engagements), but the goofballs at (Website we’d rather not give any publicity to) took them down sometime in the past few weeks/months and didn’t bother to tell us!

We Googled “free audio file hosting,” and got the creepiest, sorriest bunch of broken links and busted ventures we’ve ever seen.

Does anyone out there host audio files for free and do so reliably? All we need is a site that offers to let us park our (relatively small) audio files on their site and link to them so that folks who visit our site can download the files to use in a radio broadcast, radio commercial or whatever.

We’d appreciate any assistance on this. Thanks in advance.
