      Open the home page of the website in your browser. Look for the file name on the end of the URL, which usually is displayed as "index.html," "home.html" or something similar. It is everything that comes after the "/." Delete the file name, and replace it with the file name of the MP3. This is the URL that links to your file. You can email the URL to people or post it onto sites so that people can listen to your music.
