i have been gang stalked and bullied off the internet for attempting such things as music sharing and other technology stuff for sharing music. the attackers won't leave me alone and always find ways to ruin my plans, i spend more time defending my self then i do getting anything done. so fuck it all, fuck bullying and fuck technology.

Yeah, I guess it's a double-edged sword. Sorry to hear.

Now you know I have to include some stuff about these 'get more views on this and this' page too. Never really realised it was such a 'business' untill this dude 'markbenn' or whatshisname lol and mlissae (welcome!)

..fuck technology.

I'm sorry you've been bullied but that's no reason to dis technology. Sure, its a double-edged sword, but without it how would you express your dissatisfaction with people around the world? .. and if you were going around sharing other peoples music freely and saying things like "fuck it all" there may have been some righteous bullies in the mix.

So, on to the point;

What music sharing websites do you like to use?

What features of that specific site do you like / don't like?

Is the site easy to use? (even for a total beginner?)

Does the site have a community/large base of users? (on the other hand, is the community even important? I think it is..)

1.) I Dig soundcloud plenty. Just uploaded my first beat tape onto Bandcamp though. I use soundcloud just to show people im messing around with some stuff, some finished beats and all.
2.) Some times the comment bar pops out a comment and i cant click on a specific point and that pisses me off sometimes but otherwise soundcloud is very dope. Bandcamp is great because artists can sell directly to fans
3.)Yeah they're pretty strait forward.
4.) Community is very important think of 90s hip hop east coast west coast styles.
Even today with the beat scene going on. New york has some dope stuff on the come up.. yall will catch on soon enough

I like youtube, cause you have the abilty to upload videowork aswell, and it has more of a complete feeling to it somehow. Also you can choose to read comments , its not in your face like soundcloud.
In the 'end' I would like to appreciate music more without the internet..
enjoying records,cd's and tapes by using the internet less and lesser..I hope.

2 yes its very easy to use.

3: well youtube as you may know , you can subscribe to someones uploads.Not so much a community off course (too many already haha)
And yes there is an extremely large base of users.

word @kel and good luck Boogie with your thesis.
