you mean people just use mp3.com as a sort of advertisement
for their real page on some other site (perhaps detritus)?

of course that still leaves people beholden to mp3.com
paying fees and such just for having a page there. but maybe
it's worth it. i have no idea how much traffic mp3.com
really gets for the average unknown artist.

i actually am planning a detritus streaming radio project.
just need to install a new big hard drive and collect the
files ...
