How to email a song

A creative question!

Emailing a song can be a bit tricky, as songs are typically large files that can't be easily attached to an email. However, there are a few ways to share a song via email:

  1. Use a file-sharing service: You can upload your song to a file-sharing service like WeTransfer, Dropbox, or Google Drive, and then share the link with the recipient via email. These services allow you to send large files (up to 2GB or more) and provide a link to download the file.
  2. Use a music-sharing platform: There are several music-sharing platforms like SoundCloud, Bandcamp, or Audiomack that allow you to upload your song and share the link with others. These platforms often have features like streaming, downloading, and sharing.
  3. Convert the song to a smaller file format: If you want to attach the song to an email, you can try converting it to a smaller file format like MP3 or AAC. This will reduce the file size, making it easier to attach and send. However, keep in mind that the quality of the song may be compromised.
  4. Use a music compression tool: There are tools like MP3Skull or Online-Convert.com that allow you to compress your song into a smaller file size while maintaining the quality. These tools can be useful if you need to send a large file via email.
  5. Use a cloud storage service: You can upload your song to a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive, and then share the file with the recipient via email. These services often have file size limits, but you can usually share links to the files.

Here's an example of how you could email a song using WeTransfer:

  1. Go to WeTransfer.com and upload your song.
  2. Fill in the recipient's email address and a brief message.
  3. Choose the file size limit (up to 2GB) and the expiration date (optional).
  4. Click "Transfer" to send the file.
  5. The recipient will receive an email with a link to download the file.

Remember to always check the recipient's email settings and file size limits before sending a large file via email.
