Re: [microsound] podcasting/audioblogs/net.radio/p2p

People posted their (on topic) weblogs recently on the list, have a 
look at the archive.  If those guys are using recent versions of 
software like Wordpress, they should effectively have postcasting 
sites, since the software is clever enough to pick up links to mp3s and 
add them to their feeds as enclosures.

Personally, I think distributing your own music via a personal 
weblog/website or a netlabel are all excellent techniques, with their 
own methods and success stories.  They inherently have a lower barrier 
to entry for people wishing to hear your music, since it's easier to 
give someone a URL than tell them to download a p2p client and search.

Having a netlabel release was nice, I got talking to some like-minded 
folks that way, it opened up a few new directions for me.

Cheers,

Alex
