YouTube for Audio

I was recently looking for a service like YouTube where one can host audio files for free. While YouTube is great for hosting video files, it just doesn’t have any support for audio. So, where could I go? I didn’t want just any file hosting service. I wanted some place where I could upload the audio file, and then get a code to embed this file in various web pages if I wanted. I wanted to track how many times the file has been listened to.

After much searching and rejecting tons of file hosting sites, I came about the perfect candidate: HoundBite. HoundBite is a site which lets you host audio clips by either uploading onto the site, or even simply recording directly. The size of the uploaded clips cannot be more than 8 MB, and the length of recording cannot be more than 15 minutes. That fell right within my requirements of what I needed.

So, if you are looking for a YouTube like site but for audio, then give HoundBite a try.
