One of the best things about MP3 is the way it condenses an entire song into a tiny file size. Searching for good MP3 files over the Web is a hit or miss proposition. Therefore, most people use search engines to find the required Webpages, and there are similar sites designed to help you find the best music.

To begin with, just type in your name and e-mail address to enlist. A list of activities will follow. Choose one and you are prompted to enter three of your favourite bands which you usually listen to, while performing that activity. The Navigator then links up to the database to find music that comes closest to your choices. Most of the bands on the sites are not known to the majority of the Net users, but you can click on the Navigator to chance upon the kind of music that suits your taste.

Apart from just listening to music, MP3 provides a way for new talent to get their music heard by the public when established record labels are not interested. The budding artiste makes a CD of his music and supplies it free on the site. The music is auditioned and if found good, it will be converted into MP3 format and you will be informed about it.

With MP3 sites around the globe attracting more than a million hits per day, Internet users and the music industry cannot afford to be oblivious to this phenomenon.
