How do I post an MP3 file to a usenet group?

Well firstly, you don’t post it in a discussion group… you post it in an appropriate binaries newsgroup, such as:

news://alt.binaries.sounds.mp3

As to how to post it. You need to post it in multiple parts. Any sensible news program will do this automatically for you – you just specify what size each part should be (and even that should default to a sensible value which will be good for most purposes). You could start with Free Agent, which you can download from all sorts of places (e.g. ZDNet – www.hotfiles.com).
