Mo....if you can get you song files off the CD to a file on your mac>

then just go to YOU SEND IT & send the songs to yourself......USING YOUR EMAIL....
click broswe>find the song files>click each song you want to upload you might have to do this seperatly for each song>
when the email arrives to you copy the link to the songs they give you and post it on the SZ for all to access.

MO,
Since I am a PC guy, I will try to step you thru this procedure as best I can.

First, SAVE your CD (individual songs) to a location on your Mac. Do that with your jpg files too.

Now go to a site that permits you to upload and save your files. Follow their instructions closely. They will ultimately ask you to UPLOAD the desired files. They will provide a dialog box for you to insert your computer location - example, C:\mytunes\cd1\song1. They usually provide a BROWSE button for you to explore your computer. In that case you can locate the file, highlight it and press LOAD or whatever term they use. Follow this procedure for each the songs and pictures or whatever you wish to load.

Once you have finished this task - which will take a good number of minutes - save the address of the location where all of these files are being held. As Fran said, you can probably email it to yourself for quick reference. Otherwise we PC people can press Ctrl+C (probably Apple+C) to save it to a clipboard on your Mac.

Now come back to the SZ and post a message as usual. Include that saved address (Apple+V)??? in the message. Then we can click on that site and listen to your music and see your pictures.

I hope I haven't forgotten too much. You're a smart guy; you should be able to fill in the blanks. If you need more help, email me. In fact, if you want to email the individual files to me I will post them on a separate webpage on my site.

As far as saving your CD as an mp3, I think iTunes may already do that. If it doesn't, you should be able to go to your menu and find some way to switch to saving music as an mp3 - this is will save lots of space, so I'm sure Mac does it already.

If you can't save the music as an mp3, send them to me and I'll convert them and send them back to you. You may have to send only two or three per email because of the size.

And if all else fails, email me the content and I'll throw it up on a test server in my office (I can leave it there for a week or two).

Send me the cover art too or I might have to go with a default image like this:

HEY EVERYONE THANKS!!! I'M SURE I HAVE ENOUGH
NOW TO BECOME TOTALLY CONFUSED!!! WHICH IS A GREAT IMPROVEMENT OVER TOTALLY IGNORANT!!!!!
SERIOUSLY, HOLD IT FOR NOW AND I'LL GO THROUGH
AND TRY TO ABSORB AND IMPLEMENT WHAT I HAVE
FROM SEVERAL OF YOU. THANKS AGAIN ( I THINK LOL)

PS..is there a limit on SZ for size of files?

You're still missing the point I think. The files won't be on SZ, just a link to where they are stored. There may be a size limit on the site you're using, but in shouldn't be a factor with Mp3s. I would not upload songs without compressing them to MP3 format. They would be too large and take too much time for many people to download.

So Mo how are you coming along with the songs upload etc etc .....? I hope your a little closer to success.

Donny,
wow, my first groupie! if everyone were that hot to hear me I would sell these like proverbial hotcakes. may not get to this for
a few more days, gettin ready to promo CD's
at a free release concert we're doin Fri nite and a lot of stuff attendant to that, not to mention practicing (yech)and selecting tunes.
but I will get it done, hon! yowsa

Mo......good luck on the release show hope it works out & received well.
What more can you tell us about the CD, songs, players etc etc ...?

Donny my concert is one of a 4th Friday jazz series at Museum of Contemporary Art in N.Miami. The fact they booked me last May inspired me to get the cd's done, also the fact i got unlimited studio time in exchange for a Neumann u67 tube mic i had in my closet since 1989. So I'll recoup all my costs for 2 with the first 200 sold, and I'm shooting for 50-100 sales at the concert at special $20 the pair.

One is serious endeavor: ME and my 'NINO. will be the first ever CD to feature the Eb
Sopranino sax(and my vocals) and i reused rhythm sec trax I had from my y2k Cd, with a great local band i used to play with before
i joined the ranks of you arranger-niks.I'll
post one 2:40 Body & Soul forya with a gorgeous B3 bridge from Brian Murphy.

The other is more of a demo for my duo,
MO & MADAFO. He's on bongos and hand percussion, I'm on E60 all, with bass/drum
styles, these sounds: piano/organ/rhodes/
scat vocals/spanish gtr/harmonica. i have 2
vocals on it and 1 sopranino cut. I'll post
2-3 from that one: a boogie blues, a std vocal mambo, and a Siboney w/gtr.

btw the guy who mastered volunteered to help me free..is a mac-man and he
recommends i put my Cd into itunes, then convert to mp3,then sign up at myspace, then post to SZ. he's going to give me a step-by
step. I like that i'll finally have a website,and will post this weekend for ya.

I'm gratified that there is such interest, thank you so much, and i only hope nobody treats me as someone who needs a pat on the back when u hear the samples. keep it real.
