When you want to use Audio from Ark Webs, you
should create a mp3 subdirectory: /public_html/mp3,
and put all your audiofiles there.
Then your .m3u file, will contain an address
with this format:
http://fulldomainname/mp3/Born_Again1.mp3
The "subdirectory" is a subdirectory of your domain-www
directory.
So for example:
http://heargoodnews.org/mp3/Born_Again1.mp3
Notice:
The above address goes in the .m3u, not in your HTML code.
Your HTML code calls the .m3u3u. Then the
..m3u is used to call up the .mp3 file.

Our server is for posting mp3 files on your site, and
allowing them to be listened to by your sites visitors via a
Real Player, Windows Media Player, iTunes, etc...
IF YOU ARE planning on running a radio station, live
Church service or something of that nature, then you need to
go to
www.christiannetcast.com and consult them about finding a server that
can facilitate this type of function.
Do you provide any
tools to create audio content
with the purchase of web hosting?

No, we do
not. You might want to try looking at this URL for free tools:

We offer this Free to our customers. Just make a directory
called /mp3/ in your root directory and place your
media files there. This will
allow you to post audio files to be downloaded and
listened to by your sites visitors.
How do I use
Audio in my site? -

Using Audio on your account is very easy.
You should have a folder called: mp3 in your main web directory.
If not, just create one. So, if your domain name is
your.com , then your real folder will be your.com/mp3..
This is where you will put your .mp3 files (the actual audio file) and .m3u (a text file that simply points to
the .mp3 file, this is also the file that you link to in your
website) files.
This is an example: You must have a .mp3 file. This is your
actual audio file. Name it firstaudio.mp3 right now. Now,
upload it in BINARY to your folder called mp3. Next,
create a text file, and call it firstaudio.m3u. Now, place the
following line of text in the text file: http://www.your.com/mp3/firstaudio.m3u
(Remember, the actual path must be your domain name in place
of your.com)
Now, upload this file in ASCII to your folder called mp3. Go to your web page, where you are going to create
a link to the test file, and CREATE A HYPERLINK to:
http://your.com/mp3/firstaudio.m3u to have the file
stream live online or create a link to the
http://your.com/mp3/firstaudio.mp3 file to have the file
downloaded.
(Again remember, the ACTUAL path must be your domain name in
place of your.com). Now save the page, and view it via the
net. CLICK on the link, and it should play the file or
download it.. That's all.
This is an example of a file we have on one of our ministry
sites:
Jesus click on
it to listen online.
Jesus click on
it to download. (Right click link and select save target as)
