I suggest DropBox so long as you are observing copyright.

It's just four meg so I think that will work.
@dustin....you do realize you gave the exact same suggestion I did over 4 hours earlier...
Please try to add value and not be redundant.

@Scott - I see that John also suggested DropBox after you, though you choose to specifically mention me in a call out (and I'm not sure why).
But you see our answers are different. The asker needed a way to share a file. Your answer was "use a file sharing method" in the most generic sense- whereas myself and John recommended a specific method of which we thought would be the easiest. My email answer was because there shouldn't be a size restriction on a single file (under 25mb is assured for a music file that isn't flac) and it requires nothing extra aside from an email address which they most surely have (because you need one for this site). I also assumed the asker was smart enough to know how basic copyright laws work.
I feel my post added value in that I gave a specific direction (and the obvious path of least resistance) rather than a vague 'use a file sharing method' answer. I'll add that I think your latest post was not valuable, but really rather petty.

John's post was 2 minutes of mine. Not 4+ hpurs.
This is the kind of petty squabbling that ruins Experts-Exchange. Perhaps a better way of providing a tailored answer would have been to list a few different methods with the pros and cons of each. Dustin did this retrospectively for the email attachment suggestion after being criticised. Suggestions should be qualified in all instances. You cannot assume anything.

That worked fine- thank you
Email it to them, burn to CD/DVD, use a flash drive, DropBox, etc....
