Re: Turning an audacity file so that it is downloadable
Audacity projects (which are collections of files) are not what you would want to put on the web to make available to others. Use Audacity's Export options (in the File menu) to make a .wav, .mp3, or .ogg file and put that on the web instead. If you have an exported audio file and you're still having trouble getting it on the web, you might be better off looking for help in a forum dedicated to the software you're using for your website. --Allen

Re: Turning an audacity file so that it is downloadable
Yes, that's the normal problem. Audacity doesn't Save sound files and nobody can download a Project. You have to Export your show into some sound file and then it should work OK. How do you get the work up there? WinFTP? Some FTP software built into your web authoring tools? I think you can post stuff with the FTP system inside FireFox.

This is one of mine. It's a straight WAV music file inside the folder "tech" in the main page. I have visible pages pointing to it, but I don't have to do that. I have test sound files up there that if you didn't already know they were there, you'd never figure it out or see them.
