Update re: Missing Songs (R.I.P. Divshare)

Those of you who have enjoyed the Kool Kovers blog site should know (or have already discovered) that the featured songs, which were a key element to the articles, no longer show up there. This is due to the extinction of the Divshare file storage website, which has vanished from the intertubes, along with all of the content that everyone stored there. A most frustrating development for all concerned.

I am evaluating the time-consuming task of updating all of the articles by re-uploading all of the relevant files, and tweaking the embedding links in each article. This will (ahem) take a while, so I'm trying to decide if it's going to be worth all the work. I may try reviving a couple of articles, just to see how the process goes.

Any suggestions for a reliable, online file storage service that has an Mp3 widget available (preferably with the option of turning off downloading) would be gratefully appreciated.

My warmest thanks to all Kool Kovers readers, past and present.
