A recent story about Warner Brothers Records using MP3 blogs to promote Secret Machines music, alerted me to the existence of MP3 bloggers. The Morning News has a 'roundtable' talk with six of them.

There exists in the internet a galaxy of passionate music fans sharing their favorite songs, for free, with as many people as can find them.

Mp3 blogs (or audio blogs or music blogs) are the newest frontier in online music-sharing—a groundswell has appeared in the last year of people posting mp3 files of songs they love, free of charge on personal web sites (but only available for a short period of time), and usually annotated with biographical and contextual notes about the artist and the music. The phenomenon has been noticed but only barely, and the recording industry, if wise to the trend, isn’t protesting.

Now we know. Enjoy.
