Can iPhone SEND mp3 attachments?

Hi,

I don't yet have an iphone. I work in the music industry and would like to know if the iphone cand SEND mp3 attachments via email. I'm not talking about commercial mp3's that may or maynot be legally allowed to be shared, but my own mp3 files of my own music.

G5, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

This is so frustrating (almost ready to buy this thing and keep running into reasons NOT to!!).

Whilst waiting for an answer here, I googled my question and found out about "Song Sender". Does that type of application only work with a hacked / jailbroken iPhone?

I am NOT interested in hacking and jailbreaking. I'm wanting to buy and use without messing with it like that.

No, I wouldn't email them to myself, I'd email them to the person I was trying to email them to!!!

(That is if I was at my computer of course).

What I mean is, I get calls with people wanting me to email stuff urgently (from my own music that I have written). This means going home, getting to my computer etc etc. I was hoping that with iPhone I could email with the phone and send urgent mp3s as attachments.

I see how your suggestion is helpful however if I can guess that someone might need a particular song or set of songs beforehand, then I'd email those to myself in case they ask. But again, if I thought that far ahead that they needed a particular mp3, I'd send it to them, not me.

Hmmmm. Two ideas. First, you might consider putting them up on website from which people can download them. For example, on .mac you can create a downloads folder accessible by password.

Or, if you don't want them all available for dl, you can use iweb to create a separate page for each tune (or group of tunes), each page being protected by its own password. When you want to send a tune, you just send the website (like, web.mac.com/yourname/tunepage1) and a box will come up when your friend tries to access it. Just send along the login and password for that page). For what it's worth, I do that with clients, where I have many large files that they might need to access. I just created pages for each of them, with clickable filenames that will download the files, and each has its own login and password. Works really well, and they can download it directly to their computer.

Alternatively, if your email host gives you fairly large quote, you could email yourself a whole lot of them and keep them in a folder. Then forward them at will.

For example, .mac uses imap, so you can create a folder called, say, mp3s, and keep all your mp3 emails in there. They'll be accessible to you from anywhere you can get to a computer on the net, or your phone itself. .mac gives you 10 gigs as I recall, which would hold a good lot of tunes.

Just a couple of ideas.
