Hello, i am building a website to host and distribute music i make. I (at the moment anyway) don't have a problem offering it up for free.

I would like to have users click on the title of the album and be able to download the whole things at once (instead of having to download each track individually...)

My problem right now is that my host (hostgator.com) will only allow me to upload files up to 25mb, and an entire album is much larger than that (if, for instance, I were to zip all the files together).

SO, i was wondering, is there any way I could have a user click only on the title of the album, and then ALL the songs would be queued up to download one after another (from that album)?

Have you tried registering a free acount with some other host that offers a larger upload limit, download cpanels archive, then upload it again(or set up cpanel on your home computer using xampp...)

Other than that, I've no idea.

Your options:

1) Change hosts
2) Remote Storage (rapidshare.com / megaupload.com)
