Hi,

I using fp02, what the best way of adding mp3s to page so that the
visitor can download the file? And what the maximum size should a mp3 be?

Import the files into your current open FP web, then link to them like you would a normal page.

In many cases, if the visitor clicks on a link to an MP3 file, his Windows
Media Player may open up the file and play it. If this happens but is not
what you want, then you can zip the file with Winzip and link to the zipped
file. This way it will download the zipped file. The only problem is that
the visitor must also have Winzip to unzip the file, and there is no free
version, unlike the old PKZip.

You could also make it a self-extracting file, but the problem with this is
that it will then be an .exe file, which many people will be afraid to
download, or the visitor's anti-virus software may find a virus in it even
if there isn't one. This has happened to me.
