  Well I guess Box.net isn’t the right place to use for mp3 links I guess it’s only for downloads
  but I managed to find a site for now and thought I’d share with everyone its located here filefreak.com I have no idea how reliable they are but my music is playing from the player so that good.

  Thanks for posting an additional site for hosting mp3 files. It’s good to know.

  FWIW, if you have a free box.net account, you can only offer things from your box.net widget in your WordPress.com blog’s sidebar, including audio files. You can’t use the WordPress.com audio shortcodes to play mp3 files in your Post or Page because that requires direct linking and is only available with a paid box.net account.

  The widget size can be customized to fit your sidebar and in your widget settings you can disallow downloading of mp3s if you only want visitors to be able to listen.
