Audio Examples
If you are a singer or voice over talent, you will want to have audio clips of your work on your website. Below are a few examples of the audio players available.
Free Audio Player
If you are using the free hosting, you have the option to use a free audio player that I will embed into your website.
Pro: It does not cost you additional money.
Con: 1) You are limited to 5 audio clips, which isn't necessarily a con since you should highlight your best work. 2) In order to use the free player, most companies require that you allow them to advertise their company on the audio player. Play the first file and you will hear an example of the short commercial attached to the audio player.

Audio Player - Small Fee
In order to remove the company's advertising, you may pay a small fee (around $19). The audio player will be the same as above, but without the attached advertising clip.
Pro: 1) It is cheaper than monthly hosting fees. 2) It will remove the company's advertising. 3) It will allow you to add up to 100 audio clips.
Con: 1) You have to pay this fee each time you want to add or change songs on your player. If you want to update the player every other month, it is cheaper to upgrade your account and pay for hosting services. 2) This fee is per player. If you want a different player per audio clip, these fees will add up quickly.

Upgrade to Pro Account (currently $7.95 per month)
If the prior two options do not work for you, you have the option to upgrade your account and pay for monthly hosting fees. If you choose to upgrade to a Pro Account, the audio page will be updated during our final consultation session. The monthly fees will be paid directly to the hosting company.
Pro: 1) The player does not have advertisements attached. 2) They offer a 30 day money back guarantee if you change your mind. 3) The Pro account has additional features available such as, customized footer, site search, header slideshow, and increased size limit for uploading files (from 10 MB to 250 MB) to name a few. 4) You will pay the hosting company directly, which saves you on inflated hosting fees that some other web designers charge.
