MP3/music sites

[Marshy]

So there are plenty of MP3/music sites out there which promote new bands of varying degrees of talent...

Do any of you esteemed people have some recommendations as to which ones are any good? For someone who calls himself a music fan, I'm completely and embarassingly lacking a clue on this score.

Thanks all.

For sites try:-

www.21century-mp3.com/
www.almostsmart.com/mp3.html
http://audioseek.net/

Then get your covers from here - www.cdcoverworld.com/

Better still get iMesh, WinMX or AudioGnome P2P software.

But you haven't seen me......right

www.21century-mp3.com/ I agree with that one, however MP3 sites just piss me off with the stupid amounts of screen pop up you get! grrrrrrrr

Try and get something like Ad-Ware or Popup Adfilter, stops annoying popups. Or try a personal firewall?

Shameless plug coming up.

Probably not anyone's cup of tea, but if you're into the more intelligent side of trance (not that euro pop rubbish in the top40), you could try our site.

I hate pop ups too, we've got one small pop under, and that's it. That'll be going soon, moving to a members only service.

We don't deal in copy writed material, only live mix sets. No singles, no albums. Don't agree with this side of the industry at all, particularly for fledgling artists. Sod the EMI's of this world, I can't wait for them to go bankrupt from file sharing losing them money.

Thanks But in my (probably) food-poisoned haze, I forgot to say that I want to find good places to upload my band's music to, not to find other bands' music. D'oh. Most of the sites listed so far seem to have lots of what looks like copyright stuff on them. Not quite the thing I'm after.

I'm after the sorts of places that showcase new/independent/self-produced stuff, gives you a chance to construct a little page about the band and their music, etc.

Sorry for being crap. Me, that is, not the band.

i second winmx.

Their website if you don't know is: www.winmx.com

and then you download a small program and it's completely free to use.

Edited to say you don't get pop-ups as it's a file-share program, basically like napster.

Or get Pop-up blocker free edition - you even get a ricocet sound for every window it kills off - quite amusing too...

FWD: thanks - investigating now.

Matt - MP3.com was the one site I knew about, and I'm having a think about that one now.
