Send audio files by link — listen straight in the browser

Send MP3, WAV, FLAC, or an m3u playlist over a secure link. Recipients open the link and listen in a built-in browser player — no forced download, no account, no ads.

Free, no sign-up, time-limited link. Ideal for demos, rough mixes, selections, or podcasts.

This guide explains how to send one or more audio files (MP3, WAV, FLAC, m4a, ogg) by link so recipients can listen in their browser without installing anything. FileVert Explore mode turns on a built-in audio player on the transfer page; m3u and m3u8 playlists set track order; recipients can reorder playback without changing your upload.

Why send audio files by link instead of as attachments

Email attachments cap out at 25 MB and mean downloading before you can listen. Streaming platforms want an account and put your music on their platform. Typical transfer services make people download a ZIP before they hear anything. With a FileVert link in Explore mode, your recipient — label, client, friend, A&R — listens track by track in the browser and only downloads if they choose. You keep control of the send; they keep control of playback.

Steps to send audio files by link
  1. 01

    Prepare your audio files

    Gather MP3, WAV, FLAC, m4a, or ogg files. To set playback order, add an m3u or m3u8 file to your selection — the player detects it automatically.

  2. 02

    Start the transfer

    Open the send page and drop your files. No sign-up is required for a free send.

  3. 03

    Check that Explore mode is on

    In the form, Explore mode is on by default for compatible transfers. Turn it off only if you want a direct download.

  4. 04

    Share the link

    Copy the secure link and send it by message or email. The recipient opens the link and listens in the built-in player; they can reorder tracks for their own listening.

Listen to audio received by link — what the recipient sees

When your recipient opens the link, an audio player appears right in their browser, listing every track you sent. They can start playback immediately, skip between songs, and reorder their playlist without changing your original upload. Download stays available — it's voluntary, never forced.

Typical situations

Independent musician

Send a four-track demo to a label: instant listening, no forced copy.

DJ

Share a selection for an event: the client listens and reorders to test the set.

Friend

Send a music selection to someone close for a trip: time-limited link, no account, no imposed platform.

  • Free transfer, no sign-up, time-limited link (2–15 days depending on your plan).
FileVert tool

Convert or compress audio files before sending

Which audio formats can I send by link?

FileVert accepts common audio formats: MP3, WAV, FLAC, m4a, aac, ogg, opus. Files are sent without recompression or quality loss. To set playback order for a selection, attach an m3u or m3u8 file — the built-in player detects it automatically.

Send a demo to a label or a rough mix to a client

For musicians, beatmakers, and producers, a FileVert link beats mailing a CD or a WeTransfer ZIP folder. The A&R, artist manager, or label hears your rough mix in their browser within seconds of clicking. No account to create, no file to download before the first chord plays — often the difference between a demo that gets heard and one that gets skipped.

FAQ

Can my recipient download the tracks?

Yes, download stays available. In-browser listening avoids a copy until they need one.

How many audio files can I send in one link?

You can add several audio files (MP3, WAV, FLAC, etc.) in one transfer — the built-in player groups them into a playlist automatically. Overall size limits follow your FileVert plan.

Is track order preserved?

Yes if you attach an m3u or m3u8; order is detected automatically. Otherwise order follows how you upload.

Can the recipient reorder tracks?

Yes, each recipient can reorder for listening without changing your original upload.

Is sending audio by link free with no sign-up?

Yes. Standard free sends need no account. Recipients open the link and listen in their browser without signing up either.

Is the link ephemeral?

Yes, the transfer expires based on the duration you set (e.g. 2–15 days depending on options).
