Only peripherally relevant,
but worth mentioning perhaps that one of the services offered by my current
day job, the non-profit Internet Archive, is perpetual, redundant, free
storage for as much material as an individual is willing to share with
(any) Creative Commons license.
Not a good solution for proprietary recordings for which you may have a
commercial or artistic investment in keeping privately at the moment...
...but, a fine way to store an *arbitrary* amount of material, for free,
forever, in the cloud. (Well, for the foreseeable future -- forever is a
very long time.)
Meaning, if you want to upload 20 TB of a high resolution recordings in the
original WAV/AIFF, we will be happy to host them for you, and automatically
produce mp3s/ogg vorbis derivatives, and allow deep linking to the material
(so you can point to it with players/links on your own website).
The caveat being, you do have to not mind others having access to it.
Creative Commons offers no-commercial-use licenses, but those could of
course be impossible to police in practice.
