Up until at least 2004 there was a website where unsigned/independent (and maybe not?) artists could host their music with a bio (very similar to the music portion of myspace today), and for free the public could download these songs. You could also just listen to clips or sometimes full songs, without downloading.
This site had been around forever. 1994 I think?
I also think the website was an initialism, like imdb.com or ohhla.com
Anyone know what I'm talking about?
This place may still be around, I just haven't been there for suresies since 2004. PureVolume was founded in 2004.
