There have been a few references to the MP3 site here on the forum and how that may be a way for some musicians to get exposed, or re-exposed for someone like Waylon or Hag. At this point I have no particular opinion, but perhaps a question.
It is surely a place to put forth whatever musicial expression one has, but having gone there a few times, that may be the very problem. While there have been a few good cuts or songs, there is a plethora of just plain bad $hit. It seems anybody who can muster what it takes to get on, does, and much of what I've heard is beyond terrible. E for effort but F for content. Thank Heaven for the rating system they do have.
While I do feel MP3 has a place for everyone, and rightly so, is that where WE want to be? Should there be a place where the standards are just a little higher? Check that. A lot higher? Would it be possible to have a site where the music, no matter what venue, is of good quality?
I guess that was an opinion after all, but I'd be interested in what the forum folks think of MP3 and where that kind of thing should progress from here.
