hi sarah,

we did this about four months ago. we used a database (mysql in this case)
to store: track, artist, categories and audio file name and uploaded the
actual audio files to a folder on the server. this means your database
doesn't have to deal with large chunks of binary objects (the audio files).


there are a couple of scripts which look like you could use on hotscripts:

oh, and if you're playing with asp, there is a couple of good building
blocks here:
