You could try a compression utility (like WinZip or WinRAR) to try and compress the file (but it may not reduce the file size as MP3's are already fairly compact).
I need assistance to send a song through an email. Can someone please assist me on doing so?
A song is a file like any other and can be sent like any other. Generally this is done by using the Attachment feature of your e-mail client.
However, there are some caveats here. First the legal issues; Most commercial music is copyrighted. This means that making copies and distributing copies is a violation of the copyright and, therefore, illegal. So you might be violating the law by sending someone a copy.
Second, size issues. Sound files tend to be large. Many e-mail systems have limits on the size of attachments. So you might not be able to attach the file or the recipient may not be able to receive it.
Hi,
There are different methods. One answer already gave how to send it as an attachment. Using that way, when the person gets the email, he/she can then Left double-click on the attachment, and it will open up and start playing.
If you use Outlook Express, you can "embed" your song in the message, so when the person receives it, it will automatically start playing when they open the email.
To do this:
With Create New Message open, at the top, click on Format, then Background, then Sound. Click on the Browse button to find your song, then tell it OK.
Best of luck.
I do not recommend embedding a song or any sounds in an e-mail. You never know where or when a person will open their e-mail. Having the mail start making noise without warning can prove to be embarrassing or disturbing. The same thing goes for WEB sites that start playing sounds without warning or permission. I tend to close such mail or sites immediately.
Another caveat about embedding sounds is both you and the recipient have to have an e-mail client that supports HTML mail and that feature has to be turned on.
Please show some consideration for your e-mail recipients and not embed sound.
First the legal issues; Most commercial music is copyrighted. This means that making copies and distributing copies is a violation of the copyright and, therefore, illegal. So you might be violating the law by sending someone a copy.
While that is true for USA, it is not true for Canada. In Canada, you can send music to a friend LEGALLY. As long as you don’t charge them a single cent for it.

Good point. You never know where someone will open their email, and that might be embarrassing. Sending it as an attachment would be a better choice.
Do what that Captain Forest guy said, but make sure you save the file under something you can find easily, because I didn't at first and it took me forever. Save it under Sweet Sweet and it will fo sho catch your eye.
