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.

MusicLink.com is not a site
to post your music, but rather
a site to sign up for a virtual

in their database and if your
listening public gives 2 squirts
about you may actually have
some coinage thrown your way...
at least get mom to and your
wierd uncle to surrender some
cash. FairTunes.com actually
looks like a very promising
idea. Do it.

set up your own "radio

are actually some excellent
stations running there, "J's

purchased directly by clicking.
Listen
Listen.com pretty much just
functions as an mp3 index &
search site.Type it in and if

find ya. If your not there,
then register your music with

time they have partnered with
the world.
