Tips and Warnings

Most music sites won't let you upload songs that you don't own personally i.e. any song you haven't written yourself. So you will need to upload the song to your own server.

Keep surfing the web looking for new bands to post. Eventually you will have bands contacting you who wants to be posted.

Research the song. The point of an mp3 blog is to give some background on the songs you're posting. You could also add your own review and your history with the song or band.

Don't post songs permanently, to avoid copyright infringement.
