Im working on my own version of soundclick with my own changes.

A few things have come to my attention
1) Is there a way of uploading songs faster then copy() and
2) Is there a way of showing how much % of the file is uploaded on a seperate small window that refreshes like on soundclick.

There's some good information on a progress indicator here.
As for uploading the songs, copy() doesn't actually do anything until there are uploaded.

There is no faster way. The speed is to do with how fast the user can upload to the server.

Well that's not true. FTP uploads are usualy quicker than HTTP.

So if the upload was to occur over an FTP connection, and then after a script can transfer it from the FTP location to the http folder, it might speed up the process a bit.

FTP was built for File transfers, yet a lot of people still use HTTP (built for text transmission) for uploading/downloading sites.
