Sounds like a rip off of BandCage, but with nicer stats. I've been using BandCage for years are they offer all those things for free (except the Google-esque stats) and they already have social network features, e-mail broadcasting, domain mapping, and event calendar.

I can definitely dig the lossless format. And, I'm all for new indie sites popping up- there's only one way to figure out what will eventually work, and that's to try a lot of different things. I think that's what a lot of these sites are hoping to achieve.

As an independent musician, I have to give this a massive thumbs up. The simple functionality of the site, the variety of download formats, the variety of pricing options, the lack of advertising, the option to map your own domain name to the site and new features such as unique download codes that can be used for promotional purposes all add up to make this a pretty decent option in my opinion. If you could add the option of CSS and HTML styling then it would be pretty much there. My (fairly simple) profile can be found at http://danlyth.com
