Question: Looking for online band community with MP3s

socratic — Mon, 06 Dec 2004 19:02:36 -0800

Back in the day, I used to like to go slink around mp3.com, pull down a couple of mp3s based on bands' stated influences, and then, maybe, buy an album or two. Is there any sort of reputable band community offering free mp3 downloads of unsigned or indy bands now that mp3.com is dead? I found IUMA and SoundClick, but they don't seem to be as solid as mp3.com was.

15MegsOfFame.com and GarageBand.com have good genre-based searching.

And then there's this beast from MoFi.

emusic.com offers 50 free mp3s for non-members and then it's pay after that. Tons of indy stuff there though.

Wazee Music Database for alt/rock -- it's my favorite (net) radio station too.

Comfort Stand usually amuses me.
