Well, I hate to break it to you, but if it's on mp3.com, it probably
won't become a hit.
www.mp3.com makes thier money by selling ad banners...the music is just
the bait.
They are not a music company. The sponsor some tours, the sell CD's (
pretty lame
considering that they are an mp3 company), and as a gimick they let
some of thier bands open for Torry Amos...big deal. That's what 5 bands
out
of how many out there? They hardly promote thier bands the way a
record company would. Those Allanis Morsette downloads are
REALAUDIO...that's it.
Not even MP3's!!!!

Now if you want to deal with a company that really IS a music company,
try www.emusic.com.... the man who helped David Geffen found Geffen
records works for Emusic. Frank Sinatra's former lawyer runs Emusic...
he wrote The Book on music licencing that is used everywhere in the
business.
Emusic also own www.iuma.com..which let's unsigned bands create thier
own websites
for free.

Mp3's IS Emusic's business. Not a bunch of gimmicks to draw eyeballs to
the ads.

Enough said.
