I am working on a project where I am determining the musical score for
a video.  I have MP3 clips -- each between 3-4MB in size -- that I
need to share with a colleague in another state.

Here ar emy problems: you cannot find the music clips anywhere online,
the file size is too huge to send via e-mail, I cannot do FTP or
whatever you do to post it to a Web site, the free message boards like
Yahoo Groups have a restriction on file size and each clip exceeds the
limits, and neither of us wants to get involved in any of the
Napster/Kaazaa-like stuff -- my colleague just needs to hear the
clips, then she'll blast them off her machine.

Is there any easy way I can get this info for her to review, either
through e-mail or finding a place where I can easily post the file and
she can easily access it?

Hi!

Are you willing to pay for such a service? If not, would you accept
services that provide free trial uses for a limited time like for a
few days?

Thanks!

I would be willing to pay for a service if it is low-cost; however,
the free trialis even more seductive! Can I have examples of both? ;-)

Hi! Thanks for accepting my proposal for an answer.

One really good way to solve your problem is to get an online file
storage service. You just create an account and then upload the file.
You can then choose the other person who may have acces to these
files.

Here are services that have trial offers and are rather cheap as well.

Thanks for the good work, easterangel!  To be honest, I used
espred77's YouSendIt.com solution -- it was EXACTLY what I needed and
very easy to use!

Dude! 
   you can zip those files and send it to anyone using yousendit.com
their service provides u facility of sending attachments upto 1GB for free.

This is how it works

1)specify the e-mail address to which u wanna send
2) upload the file, send

The file is stored in their vault and they send a link to ur friend
and he has 7 days to download the file from there.

Something I personally use is the Yahoo Briefcase:
http://briefcase.yahoo.com

To set-up an account is free! Each account gives you 30 MB of space
and you can upload files up to 5 MB in size. Simply set-up an account
and share the details with your colleague and you should be able to
share as many MP3s as you need to.

Regards,
lotd

Thanks for the kind words, the 5 stars and for the generous tip! :)
