first of all, make them as small as you can & still save the integrity of the music. To send them, you attach them w/the paper clip
icon....click on the paper clip & follow the directions. One of you guys that are more computer literate than I, jump in here with a helping hand!

Steve,
You might also consider compressing the MP3 files even furthur [especially when sending 2,3,4 songs at once - could wind up with well over 5+MB] with a ZIP file.

You will need a ZIP file program to zip the files. PKWARE, I believe, is still a free shareware program. There's WINZIP also, but it's a pay one.

Emails have a cieling on how much MB's they'll accept at any given sending. They range like from 2-4 MB. So if you send something above their limit, part of the email will be rejected and 'returned to sender'.

The zip files help somewhat, but they can become large in a hurry, also.

FWIW...Chip
