    I thought I just commented on this but maybe I commented on the wrong thing because I don't see my original comment! I'm definitely new to Diigo. Ben, this post made me wonder...are you familiar with SoundCloud, and if so, do you know of any free online software like it that take mp3 files and convert them to HTML code that can be embedded into a webpage?

    Sound cloud looks really interesting, but they host all of the content and you just send out links to share it. In order to play content on your page, you need a mess of java script commands and I have no idea how to link that to your content... Guess that's why all the bands pay big bucks to have someone build their site for them.
