sending songs by attachment

[starmack]

Any help appreciated with the following issue.

A friend in the United States is able to attach songs from her music collection ad end these, effortlessly, to me.

I have tried to do the same with only sporadic success; most tracks fail to transmit.

Any ideas.

We are both using Mac operating systems (I am 10.4 and she is 10.5) and the music files are in m4a format.

Maybe your email provider doesn't allow large attachments, you will get failures while sending them if thats the case.

Also, is your internet connection good enough to upload 3-6MB in one go (a/x/DSL or Cable?) not an old fashioned dial up connection obviousley (eg would take 15mins for one song).

Most people would probably not send via email, and use some kind of file sharing or music sharing utility online like http://www.4shared.com/share_music.jsp, but if you must, I think gmail lets you send .m4a files and it has copius amounts (6.4GB and rising) of storage, it's free.

http://www.gmail.com

Other things to check is your bandwidth cap on your ISP and your friends receiving attachment limit or email account storage, can't think of much else.

Good Luck!
