My rant about social music sites

[JSD]

I think they all suck. Bring back the old MP3.com!

One of the best features of the old Mp3.com and Myspace music layout was the regional music searches that have been deleted. Being from MA, I want to know who the #1 artist is in my City of Lowell, Boston and the entire state in the respective genre I'm searching for; before I care who #1 is in the nation... The local aspect of all the major social music sites has been thrown out the window and it sucks.

If you know of any good sites that have the feature I'm referring to please let me know.

I'm pretty thankful to those sites right now. My entire Itunes library was lost with my hard drive a couple months ago If it weren't for Imeem I wouldn't have much music anymore. Only thing I've really got to complain about is that it's really hard to find certain songs in full.

I'm curious what site allowed to recover even a tenth of your music collection... the Major sites, in most cases, don't allow you to download (i.e. myspace, purevolume, Ilife ect.)

I just wish there was still a site out there that allowed local artists an opportunity to shine... Being the #1 pop-punk band or hip hop artist in your town, capital and then the state; it's the type of progressive accomplishment that is interesting.

Celebrate the small victories
