I know I can upload YouTube videos of all sorts to our site but I'm wondering if I can add a song title I bought and downloaded from Amazon for $0.99? I suspect not? I didn't see anything about this in the FAQ and perhaps I'm just suppose to know better? Thanks.

Three things on this: 1) Yes, technically you can upload a song you purchased to your web site. 2) No, it would definitely not be legal to do so. 3) We are about to release an mp3 uploader/playlist that you can use on any page of your site. While we won't be policing mp3s that are uploaded, clearly you'll want to use it for music you have the right to distribute, such as a school fight song, etc.

Hmmmm, is it legal/ethical to play a list of songs from playlist.com on our class websites? If not legal, is it financially feasible to get the legal right to do so, and does anyone know how to go about doing that?

Brad, This seems to be as good a forum as any to ask this question. Is there a way to convert media player files to the web site? I was sent audio from a high school play, hockey play by play, etc from high school that I would like to put on my site. Thanks, Jim Shafer

As a general rule though, whenever you're inserting any third party plugin you should check out the site and ensure everything is on the up and up.

Or some other format? Generally you can convert any format to any other format if you have a conversion utility. We'll be releasing our custom mp3 uploader/player in roughly a couple weeks, stay tuned for that, as it will likely help you a great deal with adding your own music to your site.
