Advantages: EXCELLENT MUSIC

Disadvantages: Slow downloading times could lead to expensive Phone bills

Turn up those Speakers / Headphones and get ready for some new Talent thats better than todays, "Lucky"' Millionaire Artists in the charts!
Or Turn up those Speakers / Headphones and get ready to start making your own music for $$$!

In Mp3.com there are millions of new songs and artists! And the best part of it, all the songs are free!
You can easily browse the categories that suits you. You can then sample the music by clicking on "Lo Fi play" this lets you listen to the song, but it is not crystal clear so it downloads faster just for a taster! Then if you decide you like the song you click on the Artists name and click "Download" on that song. The website is so easy to use, just like Yahoo, or doodoo. If you cant find any music that you like then your in the wrong category or you have a slow connection and you can't sample many tracks as you'll be there for ever! Ok yeah there is a problem! If you have a slow modem, connection or whatever, you have a problem. I recommend that you leave Mp3 downloading until you get a Fast Connection otherwise you will explode with frustration!
If you like a particular Artist then can I suggest that you buy their Albums to support them as they have done great work. All the Artists come from all over the world, including the UK.

Oh, and if you love Making Music then this is the place to start! You get $$$ as people start to buy your albums. Some artists have made well over $150,000 I am thinking of starting with Mp3.com!
My favourite category is Electronica, I also like Rock!
If you like one song, you'll be back for more!

UPDATE:
I was very annoyed when someone else commented that the "artists" on Mp3.com were worthless hopefuls. That realy did P**S me off BIG time. I want to make something very very clear. Mp3.com artists DO NOT have these million £ or $ companies behind them for support. They DO NOT have expensive studios wi
th all the latest equipment to go to and record. They CANNOT burn millions of copies of their music on to CD's. They put 20000 x more effort into writing, recording and performing their music than POP groups. They DO, however, produce 20000 x better music than commercial POP groups. POP groups now how much effort do they realy put in the only skills they need are to do these silly dances and mime their words, most cant sing but of course they have millions of £ / $ to back them up and get excellent quality teachers. I think its time to realise that POP will not last for much longer, despite the fact CD sales have gone up.
I would also like to again comment that Rock 'n Roll should NOT be included in the POP section.


Happy Surfing
