Mp3 faq - post MP3 files to newsgroups

How do I post MP3 files to a newsgroup?

The short answer is that you post a message and "attach" the MP3 file to it. You may also need to specify some parameters in your newsreading software re such things as how to encode the attachment (use uuencoding) and what size chunks to split it into, etc.

I would suggest that you use a decent dedicated newsreader program, rather than attempting to use your browser. Free Agent from Fort‚ software is a good place to start - you can download it free from any popular shareware / freeware site (e.g. www.winfiles.com www.hotfiles.com). Myself I use Fort‚ Agent, which is the registered "full" version of this software... but the free version should do basic posting for you fine.
