Long time lurker, first time poster.

I'm a member of RawRip.

It's kind of like myspace meets itunes.

I've got a couple invites if anyone wants one.

Another way to promote your music is PR. It's not just a matter of putting music up on a website. You have to tell the world that don't normally visit those websites about it.

Google the name of my latest song Another Stretch in Iraq and see what I mean. How do you do that? I'll be giving some pointers on my next podcast of A Kiwi Songwriter. You can listen or subscribe at http://luigicappel.libsyn.com and its free.

I'm not claiming to have all the answers, the answers so far here are all great. I just have a few more.

The biggest market isn't fellow artists, its the people who download, share and listen to the music. Hopefully in doing what I'm doing I am also bringing new people to Music Forte which I am also promoting aggressively.
