Ourmedia
From Dharmasphere
Ourmedia is a website where you can upload music, video and other media. You can then link to your media from your own blog or website.

Registering
To get started, make an account on Archive.org - your Ourmedia files will actually be stored on Archive.org. You will not need to go back to Archive.org again, but you do need to register on it.
Uploading Media
To start uploading, click on the publish my media link on the left-hand side of the page:
If you did not link to your Archive.org account when you registered on Ourmedia.org, you will be reminded the first time you try to upload. Watch out for any errors or warnings at the top of the page.
If you receive any problems, try to upload the file again, though be sure to check your account page later to see if any partial uploads took place, in which case delete them.
For more information on uploading to Ourmedia, see their Guide To Publishing.
The Media Page
Once uploaded, the media file will get its own media page on Ourmedia. The page contains all the details that you entered when uploading. There is also a link that says 'This Media File's URL', which is a direct link to the file:
It is useful to quote these two addresses (the media page and the direct link) when mentioning your media file on other websites, such as your blog.
Broadcasting
Once your media file is hosted on Ourmedia, you can broadcast about it - e.g. by creating a new post on your blog. Describe the new media and give a link to its Ourmedia page, as well as a direct link to the file itself.
