So you’re an aspiring DJ or an established name putting out a new promo

You’ve spent a number of hours selecting tracks, arranging your mix, recording it.

Then re-recording it because you weren’t totally happy with it.

Then re-recording because you dropped a track in at the wrong time.

Then re-recordi….

You’ve got the picture right?  You’ve spent hours making sure your promo mix is perfect, and then you’ve fucked the whole thing up by using a shitty upload service, such as Mega Upload where the end user needs to wait for 45 seconds before downloading, or Sendspace, which i’m currently being forced to download from.

Great, you’ve succeeded in totally shooting yourself in the foot (Sorry Wavemotion)

To be honest, when i download mixes, and i see an external link that i know is going to be a pain, i avoid it.

So what  should you use?  Something that fits the current budget ($0)?

Personally, i use either my MobileMe and publicly share the file, or Drop Box, which gives you 2gb of online storage plus direct linking.  I’m not trying to plug something just for the sake of it, but i took that screen shot at the start of the post, and this is the current progress.

So, if you want people to download your stuff, don’t use a shitty service that’s frustrating for the user.
