[PD] web publishing suggestions

Hi

I'd like to put some of my music on the web. Right now, I can think of 2
options:
1. run my own webserver
2. use mp3.com

Both have their problems.

I *could* run my own webserver, but then I'd have to manage it [still
OK], but it's on the attbi.com network. This means it's address changes
whenever they decide to renumber the network. And if I bought my own
domain I'd need to update DNS, and they might start charging me a lot if
a lot of people want to download my music [hey- it *could* happen ...],
and so on.

mp3.com is pretty much as commercialized of a site as is out there- with
required registration to download songs, cookie tracking, selling your
email address to spammers, and probably lots of other stuff I don't even
know about.

Any suggestions, comments, or meandering diatribes on this subject are
welcome.

Q:  How many existentialists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A:  Two.  One to screw it in and one to observe how the lightbulb
    itself symbolizes a single incandescent beacon of subjective
    reality in a netherworld of endless absurdity reaching out toward a
    maudlin cosmos of nothingness.
