Can I listen to mp3s before I download them?

Click the "Listen" link to play an mp3 from the file details page.

How do I make my music play automatically on Kiwi6?

You can do this by appending ?autostart to the end of the file address. For example:

http://kiwi6.com/file/q6k3n3s0m1?autostart

The mp3 will start playing when the page loads. This has no effect on other file types, such as images.

How do I get the embedded music player to autostart on my page?

In the embed code there is a <param> tag named 'FlashVars' - you need to add "&autostart=yes" to the end of the value attribute in that tag. For example:

<param name="FlashVars" value="playerID=audioplayer&soundFile=http://k002.kiwi6.com/hotlink/83arz7e705&autostart=yes" />

will make this song automatically start playing on page load.

Why are uploads so slow?

Upload speed is based on your internet connection.

Where did my files go?
