Thread Name: Music Hosting Websites: Alternatives to MySpace
Subject: Alternatives to MySpace
I've got a MySpace page, but I'm not very happy with it for a variety of reasons:

- it looks horrible
- it's hard to work with
- you can't link to individual songs
- ...or comment on songs
- ...or tag or categorise songs
- also, Murdoch

Do any alternatives spring to mind?

What I want to do:
- put recordings up where people can hear them
- tag/categorise/organise recordings, e.g. to separate out the trads from the originals from the Bellamys
- end up with a page that's easy on the eye and easy to use

What I don't want to do:
- make videos
- sell tracks
- pay (much) money*
- join Facebook (I've managed to avoid it thus far)

Any ideas? What have other people used?

*Wordpress charges $20 US per year for uploading MP3s to a blog, which works out at about a pound a month. I'd still rather pay nothing at all if possible!
