How big is the file if you zip them?  If it’s relatively small (5-10M), I’d just put it up on the site as a zip file and people can download it directly.  Otherwise, maybe you could break them up into multiple zip files (grouped by name, theme, type, or whatever).  Zip is easy and standard.

Subject: Some ideas needed

 

Hi everybody,

I know it´s a bit off topic, but maybe some people on this list do have some advice (I tried some typically mp3 groups and this was no serious help at all).

I need some help or recommendations on the following subject:

I want to offer mp3 files of my work on my own homepage (which I´m working on at the moment).
I do work with loops and sometimes they are only tiny pieces of music for e.g. audio books, and so I have for example 50 individual mp3 tracks from 30 sec to a few minutes in one album.

This would be a lot of individual downloading for the people.

 

So I would like to have one file containing all little mp3 files with tags etc. .

What do you recommend to do for offering such downloadable file in which all the individual files stay as they are?

Just a simple Winzip or Winrar compression? Any experiences with the quality of such?

Or maybe BitTorrent? Or sth.else?

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you very much and I wish everybody on this list a happy new year!

Regards and greetings from Spain
