Free Music for Musos

Advantages: Loads of good fresh sounds
Disadvantages: A lot of experimentation to find your choice of sodn!

MP3.com is an ideal place to find the obscure and occasionally the up and coming bands of the future. I am a confirmed muso having played in bands for many years and MP3.com is an ideal platform for musicians to get their sounds heard. My only complaint about the site would be that the 'Genres' the music is classified in are, to say the least, a little confusing to start with. I remember a time when Reggae was considered a mainstream form of music, ...

That's the moaning and groaning over with... ...if you enjoy the alternative, the avant-garde and the avant-got-any-money, than ...

A good place to start for new bands

Advantages: Good launch pad
Disadvantages: Slow site and too much going on

...Well thats is where MP3.com are going to help me out I hope. I signed up for them last week inthe hope of getting our newly-demoed tracks online and into the homes of people the world over. Sign up is free, as is the hosting of your songs and maintenance of your web space. You can add songs, add graphics and biographies, tour dates, gigs and alsorts! It really is a useful tool for getting your music heard. Its easy to follow and a good attractive ...
...are that the site looks too busy and the time it takes to do anything. I say busy because there is far too much information available on the home page and unless you have a very high resolution monitor, you have no chance of seeing it all without a lot of scrolling. It is also slow for registering and updating. I registered over 6 days ago and so far they have not apporved my account or my songs. They say that it takes a few days to get your account ...

Better than napster.com

Advantages: ---
Disadvantages: ---

...high-load their home-made accommodations with MP3.com and on them provided the Site present, she costs that approx. 5, - to 6, - Marks on-line fees and also this circumstance has its effect on the offered music. Here one does not only find the skurrilsten and also krankesten Ausgeburten of musical Fantasie, but also in so rather each section the better alternative to appropriate industrial tape. REALLY coole HipHop acts, Metalbands the Heavy is REAL, ...
...the thing... Since the company MP3.com pays a part of its incomes from advertising to the artists, some popular of tape make also correctly cash (how much, is smallprinted under the tape photo).

The large breadwinners are Russian AvantgardeTechnoProjekte, Latinjazzbands of New Zealand, Doommetalbands from Michigan etc.. Who believes now, wars perhaps so around ...

Warning Indulgent Hobby Opinion

Advantages: Lots of great new music
Disadvantages: Some bad music as well, plus no beenz!

...to mp3.com * MP3.COM * There are two ways of getting around MP3.COM. You can either browse through the music categories, such as ‘Rock & Pop’ (I’ve never had a satisfactory explanation as to why these two are always lumped together) and ‘Hip Hop’. These are then split further into subcategories. Each category has charts, recommendations as well as an out and out list of bands. Another option and one of my preferred ...
...Or at least that’s what MP3.COM want it to be. What it REALLY is, however, is just the content from the bands website rehashed into a little multimedia program that autoloads (Very slowly) when you insert the CD. While it is pretty cool to have the lyrics to hand it’s not worth loading the entire program to get to them, you may as well use your normal CD player. DAM CD’s all have a very similar look to them, the artist gets to choose ...

A Mixed Bag

Advantages: Enormous range, easy to use, fast downloads
Disadvantages: Download managers don't work, not all the major groups

MP3.com has had a lot of publiciity through it's court cases where it's trying to make it's service legal and come to agreements with the labels. But it's my.mp3.com service which has had all the publicity doesn't work for most cds here in the uk, so it isn't that useful. The main section of the site, where many artists (mostly unsigned) offer their music for free download is pretty good though. Once you've signed up you can use the charts on the ...
...are a large number of categories and sub-categories to explore, and some pretty good music, even from the amateurs. What's more, you know that it's all legal and so you don't have to feel guilty! In fact, they have a scheme which means that if people download the music, the group gets a share of a monthly fund of $1,000,000. This seems to be getting the top groups quite a bit of money, which is nice for them! The main problem I have with the site ...

MP3.com - Worldwide Underground Music

Advantages: Exposure, ease of use, networking, FREE, someone else does all the technical web stuff
Disadvantages: Varying quality of other artists / musicians work

MP3.com has stuck to its roots in remaining the best tool for internet capable musicians. The company offers FREE worldwide internet exposure on a large scale, and also a great opportunity to network with musicians in your own town/city on a more local scale.

MP3 dot com is excellent

Advantages: Excellent directory system, fast servers, preview system
Disadvantages: There are none!

I found MP3.com about 3 months ago, since then I haven't stopped downloading MP3! They have an excellent directory system for different genres, and extensive charts in all aspects of music. My favorite feature is the ability to preview a song before you download it. You can stream each song through programs like realplayer with a 56k modem! There servers are usually good too. They also group MP3 by artists, so for example you found a song in one ...

Excellent music source

Advantages: Some top class music - free
Disadvantages: Lots of crap

...record label or another. Mp3.com allows you to search through and download songs by hundreds of bands from an extensive database. The site is well organised - it's clear how to get to each musical genre, so you can quickly get to a type of music you like. When you get to an artist, you'll be able to get a quick bio, influences, similar artists page, and also you can listen to some low quality samples of each song before you decide to download it ...
...less favourably bands floating around, making your searches a little hit and miss, but if you're willing to dredge through the crap to get to the good stuff, and have a love of music and some time on your hands, then pay mp3.com a visit. You might be pleasantly surprised! ...

Great news for music artists and listeners alike

Advantages: Great for everybody!
Disadvantages: sort of slow, sometimes, maybe.

MP3.com is quite an unusual and one of a kind site, although extremely underrated. I mean, where else can you go to sign your new teen rock band or pc made, electronic music with a deal that could have you earning tons. Where else can you go to put in your favourite bands and find new, unsigned bands that give away their music for free. You can then go on to view all of there music and play it online, lo-fi or hi-fi or you could download the whole ...
...cd or merchandise sales either! MP3.com now also has its own music label, NMA, which will bring in more money. For WEB SURFERS, this is also unmissable, you can find loads of stuff. Not only new music but interviews, real bands and more. There is so much to do, you could get stuck here for hours! All the profits and rewards along with the new music label, NMA, will probably get you going out and getting with friends to make a band, learning to play ...

The best MP3 resource on the Internet

Advantages: Free original music, plenty of reviews on software, and comments on legalities
Disadvantages: Can be a little slow at times due to the huge amount of traffic

...need look no further than mp3.com for everything you ever wanted to know about MP3's - oh and you can get some music as well (how could I forget the music). Where do I start? Well, I'll start with the tunes. I am actually a member of the mp3.com artist group, and I can tell you there are some very good people who put their music on to this site! Some of whom I'm sure will go on to bigger and better things in the future. Basically what we have here ...
...and basically anywhere where you have access. All in all a very good, legal site for MP3 software, music, and legalities. The best thing about the music on mp3.com is that it's all original and not ripped off or simply recorded from a CD and posted on the Internet. ...

Bulk loads of MP3s

Advantages: BIG choice of downloads, and the Lo-Fi facility
Disadvantages: Takes a while to download stuff, and can only be done 1 at a time

mp3.com is one of the best music sites that I've ever been to. The huge number of downloadable mp3's can probably not be beaten. It doesn't seem to contain many bands / singers blah blah blah whatever, that I have ever heard of, but the ones that it does have, are sometimes quite amazing. The best feature of the site is the endless lists of top 40's (they go right back in to the 1000's actually), with a chart dedicated to each different genre (of ...
...many thousand songs to pick from to download, these individual charts give a rough representation of which are the best. They also give a worldwide opinion and not just a localised view. The sites search facility is very easy to use, and quite often comes up with exactly what you're looking for (if its there). Before fully downloading a song, it also gives you the chance to listen to it in Lo-Fi, so you can see if you like it. This is what I like ...
