I am trying to insert a music clip from my computer into a thread. How would I go about doing this? I am using a phpBB Forum by the way.

You would have to upload the clip to webspace or an online resource.
Do you have space where you can upload webpages or files?

You would need a system that supports media/video files. You could look around for free/cheap hosting.

Most free hosting has restrictions on video content.

You could get budget hosting http://34sp.com

or mayby try a system like Yahoo Breiefcase

I don't know of any. I could only recommend googling.

A budget host may do you better

Wow I found a site that gives you 60MB's and you dont even have to register to the site, www.savefile.com (http://www.savefile.com) there is also www.putfile.com (http://www.putfile.com) it doesnt say there is a limit.

K so now I have the file uploaded now what would I have to do to make it playable in a forum? Without having to make the people download it.

putfile has 10mb limit for video and audio files

otherwise use
+ rapidshare.de - 50mb limit
+ megaupload.com - 250mb limit

To have it play automatically it would have to be hosted and embedded into a webpage.

You cannot do this with a forum.
