techradar.com — The arrival of downloading music online has meant that more and more tracks have been available to the general public than ever before. The problem with this is consumers haven't been able to see the wood for the trees and have decidedly stuck to what they know when downloading music.

Usually, if it was crap when it was released it is still crap now.

Get a booking agent... a good one....not a manager, but a REAL booking agent, they are worth their weight in gold. Forget managers until you get signed, and then be VERY selective and careful, because they will f**k you sideways and suck up all the budget if you let them.Hit college towns. A lot of clubs near colleges have built in crowds that always go, no matter who is playing. If you are good, word will spread. You definitely can't just put your stuff on the internet and expect to blow up. It's just like you said, trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Of the current iTunes top 10 songs, two are from Beyonce, two are from Kanye West, and two are from Britney Spears. The other four aren't any better. The cream does NOT rise to the top when it comes to popular music.

I 2nd that, or returning back to the EP format & reliance upon touring for $With the hyper-connectivity of the internet running album sales it's rare you see your favorite bands in concert. I believe fans would go to smaller concerts more often if artists thrived off of EPs, random singles and being on the road.More work for all involved but quality will win for true fans + artists.
