The problem is encoding. When you e-mail someone something, it encodes it using a very old, inefficient encoding. It was intended for a couple of K of text, never really for big binaries. Considering an mp3 is already highly compressed, it makes the job even harder. I doubt you'd get even 9.1 megs through your average e-mail system anyway. Best bet is to find some web space somewhere to stick it, or use Web Sharing if you have Mac OS 8.0 or higher.
