Why not? The advantage of MP3.com and similar sites is that you have
the choice if you want to let people download a full mp3-file or let
them just listen to your songs. That´s at least what MP3.com
offers.
Noone forces you to put all songs up. A lot of ppl, as far as i´ve
seen, put only a few songs up as appetizer, add a URL of their record-
company site and they tell the ppl to buy the CD from there, if they
want more. MP3.com and similar sites are always good to test the
reaction of your audience. Still i don´t understand, why the major
record companies don´t try to use this more often to attract more
ppl
in their artists. But that´s completely OT now....
