Worth the time to set up a profile and upload music, or is it just another useless site that's lost in a sea of mediocrity?

It's certainly got a pro-looking info vid. I didn't check into the cost, which would be my deciding factor...

I'll look into it more later, but thus far it seems worthy of a second glance, if I weren't so into fighting with Allstate at the moment.

Bbl to check on other ppl's views.

Meh.. I checked into it more.. it's kind of like a facebook for music, but anything you upload by their TOS is more or less public domain and other users can download it, rip it, rehash it, sample it, and even profit off it, and you have no say about it.

Doubt that site will go far lol. I went ahead and created a basic profile and put up my old and tired strange surf song, as it's available for free on at least 5 different sites anyways.

I doubt I would ever upload anything I felt was truly marketable.

Ok, update time.

I set up a basic profile, site seems to be free FWIW.

I got 3 or 4 friend requests within hours.

Then I got a private message from one of my 'new friends' saying they gave my song a 5-star rating, and then asked that I do the same for them...1

So.. I went to browse the artists... and found nearly all of them have either no ratings, or 5-star ratings.

So it appears that it's nothing but a bunch of wanna-be's artificially inflating their own song ratings.

Then I went back to my song and found there were no ratings on it yet, so the a-hole even lied about that.

Summary:

Wow, I can lie to myself for free. Whoop de doo.

haha nice. Most of these sites are useless really.

Seems to me sites in general are only as good as the musicians who use them.

I think it depends on the area you live in, in my area they dont bother to give a reply back.
