Below
you will find a comprehesive
list of MP3 hosting, streaming,
and e-commerce music sites.
They all accept original
music by both underground
& mainstream artists,
and vary from the mega-corporate
to garage operations.
All are worthy of checking
out. As
with anything, before
you sign up with any of
these sites: ALWAYS, READ
THE AGREEMENT!!! Most
sites are straight up
& fair-minded but,
there are those few that
will try to pull some
shade. Now get to work
& enjoy. If
you find or operate a
site that you think should
be contained on this list,
CONTACT
THE RECORD INDUSTRY.
