Hi guys,
I've been trying to help someone out on the "CD-R Trading" Forum by sending them a song, but it's not getting accepted. My question is, what can you guys suggest about how to make a song attachment size smaller ? Is that what a zip file is ? If so, I do not know what that is, or how to do it. Suggestions you have would be appreciated...I've been sending as an attachment to an email, but it keeps getting rejected.
Thanks in advance. [:)]

p.s. The song is "Telephone" by Style.

I find I'm having problems too. At some point, my music files have gotten a strange icon to most of them, sometime over the weekend, I believe. This strange icon only appears when I try to open them via my isp mail. Instead of the usual icon, it now lo

Ask the person your sending the file to clean out his inbox/outbox folders on his e-mail acct. Also,the rejections are possibly due to the file such as an mp3 that's 5mb's or larger.Usually,both parties really need broadband or DSL service to do this.Winz

the best way I find sending mp3's without a problem is by going through a website called dropload.It lets you send all different kinds of files,not only just mp3's but also video files too.The great thing about this website is that it lets you send files

Hello tOrgo:
It all depends on how soon the person you send the music files to receives them.If he receives them the same day you will get an email back,depending on if you requested to have email sent to you whenever a person has download a file.You can
