Free MP3 music streaming and file hosting: FileFactory.

When creating this website, I wanted to be able to stream my music without sending visitors to another page (MySpace Music, etc). As easy as that sounds, without your own web hosting, the task can be pretty annoying. Personally, I had a bad experience with MySpace Music deleting my account with all my uploaded music. They claimed that I was not the owner of the material and I was infringing on copyrights. Whatever, That site is dead anyway. I can't be alone, I'm sure plenty of musicians have gone through their share of crap with these types of services.

So, after much searching, I came across this site:

Join FileFactory Today!
FileFactory.com

Some of the key features of this site are:
  • 100 GB Free Online "Cloud Based" Disk Space.
  • Upload files up 1 Gb in size.
  • Share files with URL's.
  • Free Streaming Music Service with a Flash based widget for your site!

You can see FileFactory's flash player in action by heading over to my 'Music' section here:

This has to be the best thing next to having your own web hosting account. If I were to review the service, I would give it 8/10. Although the music player is great, the file sharing portion has quite a few ads. This is my one and only minor complaint.
