Windows Live SkyDrive is a Microsoft file cloud storage service, just like its name - a "cloud" hard drive. It provides 25GB of network storage space. You can upload and download your private files from any location, and you also have the option to share your files with others.

In the past, many blog sites used SkyDrive as an image hosting service. After one redesign of SkyDrive, many people felt that the external links provided by SkyDrive were not very secure or reliable, and obtaining the real address was somewhat troublesome. Now, many people have switched to Sina Weibo Appsina, either converting the Appsina space into album space, or uploading via a program to the Sina Weibo album space sinaimg. All the images used in this article are uploaded to the Sina Weibo album sinaimg.

Regardless, it's much easier to find external links for images than for music. There are many image hosting websites that support external linking, but there are almost no music hosting websites that support external linking. Kugou has a music hard drive, but its built-in music player is quite ugly. Several years ago, many people used Baidu MP3 to get music addresses for external link playback, but the problem was that the music addresses from Baidu weren't very reliable and would become invalid after a short period. On the other hand, if you're not sharing your original music, music websites like Xiami and Jumei all offer sharable music players.

Alright, let me explain how to obtain the real external link address for SkyDrive:

1. Upload the MP3 you want to share to SkyDrive, click on "Share," get the link as shown in the picture, and copy the public link.

2. Obtain the public link address:

Notice the red-marked part; this is the file ID: 85C6560BECE017AB!120

Real external link address: http://storage.live.com/items/85C6560BECE017AB!120?filename=wow.mp3

(wow.mp3 is the name and extension of the music file; the filename can be written randomly, but the extension cannot.)

If you can't remember the real address because it's too long and cumbersome, you can go here to directly convert and obtain the real address.

I don't use web music players very often. If you want to check out web video players, you can refer to:

Personally, I prefer Yahoo! WebPlayer for music players. Nowadays, it supports not only music playback but also video playback.
