There are plenty of sites that will host your music and allow others to stream or download it to listen. Often these sites come with some social networking tools as well. Although these sites shouldn't replace your own website, they do add to your web presence and are worthwhile getting on.
We did our best to start this category, but if you know something that isn't listed here that would be useful, please add it. And if you see something that's listed, but it's incomplete, please add to it!
