... to stream it free?

Soundcloud is out of the option because of the limited 3 sets for free account. Bandcamp only allows FLAC and WAV where I don't want to stress my network for uploading long tracks. Mikseri is suck for song uploading. Are there any other better option?

I guess you could just upload it as a folder and provide a download link? From Dropbox to Mediafire...

Or if you are looking to upload it on a music site, I would say Soundcloud is better with a membership (Personally I think its great)

I strongly recommend doing bandcamp. Compress the wav files into 16-bit maximum FLAC. Unless you're uploading a seriously huge amount of music, this really shouldn't amount to more than a few hundred megs.

Reconsider uploading to bandcamp. I uploaded my album the other day and it has been pretty great.

@Blackhole12 @TitanMusic thanks guys for the help :) I'll proceed to upload my stuff on bandcamp

@Bspendlove I have dropbox, I could do the same on Pirate Bay or KickAss but then again people would love to stream stuff instead of just download stuff that unknown to them.

Is the Internet so small that we only have handful of options? I heard of ReverbNation, is it any good?

Have you tried doing it as an Album here on Newgrounds via the Playlist function?

I have a reverbnation account from long ago.
Endless spam about "opportunities" in your area that you have to pay to get access to...
It's sort of limited for me because not many people search for music out of South Africa...Might work better for you but I think its more frustrating than anything else.

That's a big nevermind lol. It sounds like RN is more about profit than helping musician. Bandcamp and Newgrounds are probably my best choice right.

Love SoundCloud, but the limitations put me off. Damn me for writing long tracks, they limit the numbers of upload's time to 60 minutes or something.
