Originally, MySpace had a feature allowing artists to allow their music to be downloaded for free. If an artist did not want their songs to be downloaded, they simply checked a box. That has changed in the last year or so. No songs can be downloaded for free any longer--as far as I know; I could be wrong. However, I have been told by musicians when looking for new material, "Hey, download them off my MySpace page." Which I haven't figured out how to do off the new players. So when a band tells me to check out their MySpace, great, I can hear the tunes, but I can't PLAY them. As a result, I cannot play the Smokin' Girls or the Hula Menahunes on my podcast, thereby exposing them to new listeners and/or potential buyers of their product. Hence my question.
