Thanks Chris and JDR (those are the only responses I see. Sorry, if I left
anyone out). A lot of the audio files will be over 1 MB, so I guess that
shoots using my web site. I don't know how to use/install PHP, perl, asp,
or any of that stuff. FTP hosting is so blasted expensive. Are there any
other options?

Thanks for the help. Love 'ya guys.
