What's up with the link from 'edit tracks' on my music page?

When I click on this link I get:

In San Francisco, in the year 2000, I got my start in the music industry.  I have an older brother that was/is a successful investment banker, he was sick of that lifestyle and he started a band management company, I was lucky enough to be a part of the team.  We quickly moved to La to be in the center of the action, we lived next door in the Hollywood Hills to Warren DeMartini, the guitarist of Ratt.  We managed 3 bands from 2000 - 2002, industrial metal kings 16Volt was one of them (www.16volt.com).  We bought on to an opening spot on the KMFDM Sturm and Drang Tour in 2002 and I became their tour manager.  KMFDM was returning to touring after a small hiatus caused mostly by a media association of the Columbine killers with KMFDM and Marilyn Manson.  There was a lot of publicity around our tour, we did 31 shows in 34 days and sold out venues across the country.  The road was unreal, I was hooked after the first night. 

I have been trying to upload songs to my music player for 4 days and all I get is a default page saying
