If you are use httpmime-4.1-beta1.jar for you upload file then I think you don't have to convert file into bytes it does in background but I think it depends on your webservice how it handles the request. And here you didn't give any details about web service. – user370305 Dec 08 '11 at 05:46

Convert the MP3 data into it's Base64 equivalent and then send it as a String. On the server,decode it accordingly.
