What's going on with the MP3 flash player?

The problem is that the MP3 host that I used to upload the MP3 songs has a free monthly service of 5GB of bandwidth which is very little for all the skatepunkers daily visitors.
If you want more than 5GB, you need to pay for the service and I'm not going to do this

So, if someone has any FTP or any hosting website that allows you to get the files on .mp3 format and not on a simple download link as Mediafire or Megaupload, send me an email to skatepunkers@gmail.com
