ZippyShare.com is a free file host that lets you upload any type of file for free to share with the internet community, also for free. If you upload special types of files, such as music or video, it will even allow you to embed a player for your file. This BB Code specifically deals with Music (.mp3) files.

Go to www.zippyshare.com and upload an mp3 file. Then link to it using the following bbcode to embed a player right in your forum page:
[zippy="www#"]file#[/zippy]

Live Demo: here.

Screen Shot:


When you submit a file you need 2 pieces of information, the number following the "www" as the option and the file number which goes between the tags. In my example the file was uploaded to www21 so "21" is the tag option. 4972441 is the file number.

Terms of Use: Function for non-comercial use only.

NOTE: After submitting a post with this bbcode you may need to reload (refresh) the page to see the embedded player.

Files uploaded to ZippyShare.com remain active for at least 30 days after the latest activity (download) of the file, so it's not a permanent solution but it will still work well staying alive while any thread is active and then for 30 additional days.

This was made for vB 3.8 but should work on all current versions.
