One unique thing you'll notice about this site, hippydog - we're not about ratings, we're not about reviews - we're about the music. There are no competitions that involve numbers of plays, numbers of reviews or comments. We intentionally discourage feeling obligated to review someone's song, just because they reviewed yours.

We've cultivated a community of artists and listeners who just want to hear good music; no matter what style or genre it is. IMW is here for people to display and promote their music, without the expectation or reciprocation of comment. We're here to support each other, to collaborate, and to hear and discuss all aspects of music.

Hope that helps clarify your questions. We're actually glad you brought this up.

Well said Frank

Besides, we'd all be at the bottom if we had a rating system...

....another place to start is the Radio shows being aired or replayed. Joining in with the chat is a great place to talk to the fellow muso's.
The DJ's rarely miss a beat as to the new music being posted....I have being introduced to countless styles of indie toons, and personalities.

Stop by one of the radio shows for sure, also welcome to the site if you have poked around a bit you already know there are some gems here.

AMEN Frank!!!

Bri-an - excellent suggestion! The radio shows are a great source of new music and new friends - usually leading to great collaborations!
