Studies are now coming out as saying “yes” to that question. People are admitting to downloading music illegally, but also saying they spend their just amount on albums.

Check out the interesting article that talks more about it on CNET:

Big news today in the music social networking world: MySpace has announced they will be acquiring iLike. iLike boasts over 55 million users and allows for sharing of favorite artists, concert updates, and artist profile pages.

There are a host of awesome music sharing sites out there, which help ultimately push you, your band, or your label further.

Here are two that have it down pat and I think you should check them out.

Soundcloud – http://www.soundcloud.com
Not only can you upload your music and then share your tunes with everyone in your network, but you can also receive. The beauty part is it makes music submission incredibly easy. It’s one big happy, musical, social-networking family.

Bandcamp – http://www.bandcamp.com
With zippy download speeds, you can offer your listeners a place to buy your music for a set price, buy for a user-set price, or download for free. Not only do you have multiple options for selling your music, but you also enable the user to pick which format they’d prefer. Mp3, to high-quality WAV can be had. Options are key!

Think you have a cool music site? We want to hear about it.
