Thanks for the reply but that's not quite what I was looking for. Like YouTube, on Bandcamp you can listen to the songs, but you cannot download any of them unless you pay. ( at least I didn't see any for free download, I may have missed it) This limits exposure.

I was more thinking about a music torrent site where artists could choose a few songs to distribute for free to get a wider exposure. They can then direct people to the download of the album that's for sale by the artist. Only a torrent of a free song can spread like wild fire in my opinion.. it could be hosted on many torrent sites, and thus get more exposure than having to go to one site alone.

Is there anything like that?
