It depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to have exposure, this
might be a good way. If you want to make money out of it, forget it, it's
not going to happen.

I've read an article the other day - unfortunately, I no longer have the
URL - that described how MP3.com and the likes weren't that much different
from traditional music labels. The difference is that they don't pay you at
all, and that the artists don't seem to mind that and put on their tracks
just for exposure.

All in all, I doubt if I will ever put my music (as soon as I start
producing it :) ) online.
