text: is it better to save music on webspace provided by ip or on a thumb drive?   you mean to make it portable.  it depends upon your needs.  a flash drive is nice but if you have a  lot of music (say more than 1gb), then save it on webspace or better yet, on your hard drive and make the hard drive accessible from the internet.  http://www.aprelium.com/  is a good place to get a free web server software that lets you protect your web site with cgi-based password protection.  also it supports directory listing so you need to know no html programming.
