How do I send songs with email messages?
Some songs can be quite large files and you can check to see how large the song file is before trying to send it. Even zipping up a music or movie file won't reduce the size much as a feature of a media file is that there is already some compression. The point is: you may not be able to send anything bigger than 4, 5 or 10MB in many cases because some email providers won't allow files that large through their bandwidth. If you still want to tray find the 'attach file' feature on your email program. You will have to create a new message first, click or select 'attach' and then following the prompts browse through your own files annd click on the media file you want to send. Good luck.
Are you asking HOW to do it?
(In Outlook - open a message - Insert - File - locate file)
Or are you saying you can't find your music files on your computer when you try to do it?
Lastly, emailing song files is illegal in most scenarios. Worse, you're sending it out with your name and ISP written all over the file. If the music gurus decided to fine you over it, an email with an attachment is better than a signed confession.
Make sure you're OK with all the possible consequences. Those fines are STEEP!
JBeacaire is right! And I've done something illegal now haven't I? I was quite thoughtless about all that so thanks for the post. There have been some successful prosecutions over illegal downloads already apparently.
There have been MANY successful prosecutions. Plus, integrity shouldn't be tossed in the trash over a 99-cent song track.
If you want to share music with someone, try midi files. These are usually free compositions of songs (no words, just music) that can be found almost anywhere on the Internet. Plus, they're a lot smaller, so you don't have to worry about them jamming up your Internet when sending or receiving them.
I find the easiest way is to copy the link from the YouTube site , however I haven't ever thought of the fact it could be illegal to do so.
HHmmmm... interesting!
Posting links to videos on YouTube should not result in any untoward actions against you. YouTube polices itself and culls out material to keep things on the up and up.
This thread is about copying MUSIC files from your computer to another person's computer, initially by email attachment.
Using links to stuff on the web MAY be less troublesome, the links simply stop working if the material is removed.
Use this link just to share a song, if they want it they pay. DavidQuote:

Youtube does have policies of non-illegal stuff. However, there is a TON of illegal stuff there. They can't keep up with all that. It's usually the folks who own the copyright who find it and get it taken down. But there's still a ton of illegal stuff there. So I certainly wouldn't count on that stuff being legal.
Although I don't know that it's illegal to simply provide a link to something else, even if the something else was put up illegally. That's not really the same as downloading it, or having put it there to begin with.
