What is "FREE AUDIO HOSTING?" A free audio host is more than a file backup service! Each company listed below allows you to upload, store AND SHARE your audios and music. Many offer audio recording using a webcam, mic or your phone. In general, your audios will be available to the public, but some hosts offer a private option. Never rely on any service to keep your audio forever--all companies terms of agreement (TOS) include provisions saying they can delete your audio for any reason and without warning.
What is "FREE AUDIO SHARING?" Most people want to share their audio with others. Popular sharing options include embedded players, codes, links, RSS, share buttons (Facebook, Twitter, etc) and iTunes integration. Sometimes downloading is also a sharing option. (Visit my page "free AUDIO clips" to find services with downloading options.)
