you might try ebay to find folks you sell the music you are looking for and see if they have any or can convert to mp3 for you. you could also see if the artist(s) have their own sites to download from by searching for them by name.

Umm...call or go to some record companies...They might send you to like an open mic nite first though...But get them professionally written or whatever...No scribbles and stuff...LOL...and then go and talk to someone...There is one person I thought about on here that could do that...You could talk to them but make sure you do not give out any info on yourself or your music til you talk to them in person and get their licensed info in front of your eyes...I am a singer and I want to try it out on the stage so I am thinking about it too...Umm...Here is one thing you can do...Send this person an email about yourself and what you are looking for and wanting to do...But don't put your music out there just yet on the net...Wait til you talk to them...in person...go to ppptracks@msn.com...This is a person who can help you...Oh and call me when you get your first gig...I would love to hear it...I mean...Tell me when your song comes out...Hey wait!...Why won't you sing it?...Come on...Give it a shot...

i think that you're doing a great job already. yet, you can try Myspace.com. Or you couyld go to local open mic nights, and sing to get your material heard.as soon as you get a following then you'd be set. try going to your local radio station, and asking if they can test and see if their listeners would like a demo. asking people to call in and voice what they think of your work.

If you're going to go for "illegal", I would definitely recommend in this order:\n\nMorpheus\nBearShare\nLimewire\n\nBUT, if you are willing to pay what I consider DECENT prices for music, I do recommend RealPlayer's online music store. You can purchase a single track for .99 cents but if you want the whole CD more than often you can buy it for 7.99. \n\nNow here is what I do...\n\nI bought a copy of Morpheus Ultra for use for songs, and I pay for songs/cd's on Real. I usually purchase tracks/Cd's that I like through Real, even though I know most of the money goes to the bloodsuckers at the record companies. I use Morpheus for when it comes to remixes or rare songs that I can't buy on Real. Though I don't feel that P2P is wrong because I usually buy a CD if I like it anyhow, I do feel that even if it's 5 cents the artist should receive something since they signed with a label that was going to milk them in the first place.\n\nAlso, though I don't know what genre you're into when it comes to music, there are certain artists that know it's inevitable that you are going to P2P music files that are theirs. For instance, Green Day... they created a writable CD for you to buy from them off their website, then you burn all of your fave P2P tracks onto it, so they still get a cut of the money. I see that as very fair. \n\nEither way, have fun with the music, it's there for YOU, so enjoy the hell out of it and don't get caught by the Feds because they are sucky when it comes to prosecution.

Definitely check out Purevolume.com.  I think Purevolume is probably the most popular site for bands to put up music for download and streaming, at the moment.  If you have a heavy band, then perhaps check out hxcmp3.com.  They get quite a bit of hits, as well.  Both are pretty legit sites, from what I have seen from using their services.\nMajor record labels never want unpublished material submitted to them independently, of your own accord.  The larger labels usually want a manager or a lawyer to submit your music for you.  Some independent and underground labels, though, are sometimes cool about receiving demos and such.  However, keep in mind that they probably get hundreds or thousands of submissions.  Many "smaller" labels do not accept unsolicited demos, like Lookout Records.\nOne way would be to get friendly with a band you really like, and hand them a demo and ask them to listen to it.  Or, you can "accidentally" leave it for them.  Numerous bands have been signed this way, rare as it may seem to happen.  Check out different independent record label sites; each label usually has their own submission requirements.  You can always release your own album, DIY.  That is always impressive.\n\nHere's some smaller labels you can look at:\n-5RC: www.5rc.com\n-Panic Button Records: www.panicbuttonrecords.net\n-Temporary Residence Limited: www.temporaryresidence.com

iTunes, Napster, or Music Match.  All fast reliable and legal.  All music is at some level copy written material.  The band saying it is free doesn't make it so.  They have to jump thru a lot of hoops to give up all their rights so always take care getting music "for free".

yes--take your demos every where!!!!--give them to dj s at clubs--drop them off at local radio stations--and two weeks later drop them off again--include photos of yourself or your band--play in public alot--even if its for free--give out copies of your demos for free every time you play out!!--contact your local news paper and give the entertainment editor copies of your demos--maybe he will do an article on you--oh yeah--hit the radio stations again--there are independent record labels all over the internet--send them copies--then 2 weeks later send them again--repeat as nescessary--go play on the street corners if you have to--and don,t forget--hand out those free demos to everyone you meet!!!--don,t get discouraged--it takes a while--won,t happen over night--you will get more rejections than you will get people accepting your stuff--but keep it up !!!!!

I hate to say it, but I think that you are out of luck on this one.  The music industry generally does not accept unsolicited material.  One chance you might have it to approach a local band or musician and show them your work.  Good luck

it is great what u are doing. haven't heard your music but you do what u love, admirable!\nwell make it at home as good as you can, let friends and others hear it and ask what they think needs readjusted, in soundquality, not in structure. take the good advice to heart, maybe change something, send your music to www.cdbaby.com and see... maybe you can find more sites like that but i enjoy cdbaby very much, i like their set up.\nand get gigs!download or order or get from anywhere (inter)national lists where you can perform and send send send.\nask for a reply.  Go yourself to the places that you can with your demo.\nFaith!\nopenness!\ngood luck happens to those who seek it!

Sorry, no, but perhaps you would be better off visiting a website specifically for that, such as http://forums.afterdawn.com/forum_view.cfm/20 or putting an ad up in your local music shop? Good luck!

At worse, you can always contact a band through the contact page on their website. May not be the most direct way, but you could try. Once the webstie loads, hit the Nav button at the bottom of the menu on the left, and click Contact to be redirected to an automatic message sight. Or contact Sire Records, HIM's record label.

Record deals are not all they're cracked up to be. Generally speaking, the label fronts you a chunk of money when you're signed. Whan they don't tell you is that this money is out of *your* upcoming royalties that you haven't yet earned. And they find lots of ways to charge you money for things that are necessary to get your record out and promoted - and this comes  out of the money you haven't yet made.\n\nThis is why so many bands don't make it once they've been signed. Your best bet is to get out there and perform live in as many venues as you can. The venue gets a cut, but if you sell CDs, etc., then you pick up all the cash from that. It's possible that if you build up a local following, someone will eventually sign you. But you're better off staying independent, or looking for someone like Austin's Freedom Records (the label takes all of the profits till costs are recouped, then splits 50/50 with the artist. Contrast this to the usual 15% that the artist gets. Oh, and all the expenses that the label incurs? They come out of your 15%. Have a nice day!).\n\nAmerican Idol is the lottery. Your chances are a zillion to one. If you go out and work to build a following, and you stay independent as long as you can, you're more likely not to come out broke,

Write music and practice.  Have a vision for yourself first... then you can bring people into it.  Post ads or check flyers at music stores.  It's going to be trial and error for awhile to find the right musicians.  You'll know when you find the right ones.

I needed help once like you need now and I asked\n\na disc jockey at k-earth 101 in Los Angeles.\n\nThey are great at finding music. \n\nAsk here  http://www.kearth101.com/contactus.asp?nav=2\n\ndoctorkersey@yahoo.com

I've gotten free samples at startsampling.com but nothing of real value.  I gotta think all that other stuff is a total scam.

Establish a company (incorporate) and put together a business plan for investors.  It will take a few weeks, but it is very, very legit and if you are serious (and talented), you may find investors.  If you already have demo's, go to music industry executives for critical reviews before trying to find investors.
