I've been putting stuff up on archive for years, and found them very reliable.
I have some individual entries there, but mostly a group that were competition
entries (KVR, kara-moon).
You can do full albums, and these days they have a very nice player that
*doesn't* try to promote unrelated material.
If you post a flac, they will auto-generate both ogg and mp3s for you.
I found the easiest way to designate a track order was simply to include the
date in the stored track name, but then edit the visible name to what you want.
There is space for people to make comments, but it seems to be rarely used.
Maybe that's because it is comparatively low-profile.
An example:

Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@email-addr-hidden http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-userReceived on Wed Nov 11 16:15:01 2015
