Streaming MP3 files

Create a text file. We will use Notepad in this tutorial, but you can use any text editor to create the file.
Open Notepad by going to Start>Programs>Accessories>Notepad.

Add the following line in Notepad: http://www.yourdomain.com/yourfile.mp3

Save the file. Go to File>Save. Enter yourfile.m3u as the name of the file.
 Upload the mp3 and m3u files to your website space.
This is done using an FTP program . We will use WS FTP for this example. If you do not have an FTP program, go to http://www.downloads.com and search for WS FTP. Download and install the program.
Launch WS FTP.
If this is your first time using WSFTP, you'll need to configure it using the information sent to you in your welcome email.
Note: Your ftp information can also be found in your Hosting Control panel under "FTP/User Accounts" in the left column menu. The ftp host name, username, passwd will be the same for all your domains, since they are under one account. The only difference will be the directory to upload to, which is yourdomain.com (substitute your domain name for your domain.com).

Once you have configured WSFTP, it's time to connect and upload your files. .mp3 file needs to be uploaded in Binary format (usually the default format). .m3u file needs to be upload in ASCII format. If unsure how to upload your files, or you don't know what Binary or ASCII means, then click below for a video on uploading your files.
