This has been an ongoing question of mine.
I compile classical music playlists for a radio station and burn the lists to CD and mail them off.
It's extremely time consuming, but an obsessive hobby of mine.
I've asked this question before and not received much useful advice I'm afraid. This time I'm hoping that changes.
Yesterday after Googling this topic, I came across an article in the NY Times about a free file sender called Pando.
I duly downloaded Pando's free version (capable of sending 1 Gig).
Then I made a disc image copy of a 60 min music playlist in Toast 8 and dragged it into Pando.
It all went very smoothly. It's very intuitive and easy to use.
It took over three hours to send the file to my brother in another country which surprised me. It also slowed my computer noticably.
My brother mailed me this morning (Tues May 26) to say he'd given up trying to get the download at his end after waiting two hours. He asked me the following:
"I thought you said this would be a faster way than sending individual tracks via Google! It isn't........it's a dog and I'm deleting it"
Well, apart from him being a tad unappreciative, he has a point.
Pando seems to work easily enough unless you want to download in a reasonable time.
I guess for emergencies it is OK but it slowed everything else down so much whilst sending, that I think I'll ditch it too.
My question: surely I'm not the only music nut who wants to share playlists with friends and surely there's a fast efficient way other than burning and posting DVDs around the world.
Any advice appreciated.
