The site is using drupal on a home server and is in testing at http://track100.com:8080 ... so no way would I host files yet ...I have a Windows driver site for now defunct Aardvark Audio soundcards (http://asg.hopto.org) ...and that can eat up a couple gigs of bandwidth a month alone... - but linking is definitely doable...and wav isn't so unreasonable only 20MB-40MB per-track - only a couple minutes with some sort of peer to peer thingy... I'm not sure what the legal requirements would be for keeping copyrighted stuff off the site though... I spent most of the weekend looking at COPPA junk... (and found some vandalism on some government sites privacy acts :) ) But I have a friend with a good site homerecordingconnection.com and the paid members ($24 a year) get 24MB of space... collabs have usually had a 'leader' responsible for selecting performers and stuff...people just load their versions into their profile or link to it... and the leader assembles and mixes everything. peace Sam Javor zekthedeadcow@xxxxxxxxxxx _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts!
