Then with all due respect you do not see very far into this particular 
thing, Graham.

In a situation where one is guerilla promoting one's output, a MySpace Music 
profile (not the personal ones, which is probably what you are familiar 
with, and what most 'kids' have) provides all that MP3.com used to and more.

They host up to 4 of your songs, either downloadable or stream only, with an 
accompanying image, lyrics, etc.
You can customize your profile heavily and easily- which in the case of most 
profiles is a bad thing, but as with anything garbage in garbage out.
They are searchable and subscribe-able, massive networks of 'freinds' and 
communites can be created by anyone, blog functions, events calendars, 
messaging, etc.   And nearly EVERYONE under the age of thirty has one, so 
you can easily infect a massive fanbase if you have a mind to.

Also useful is a LiveJournal, if you have blogging tendencies.
