MP3's Company

Other Denver artists have found still other uses for MP3.com. DJ Derrick Daisey, AKA Vitamin D, is using the site to link people to his own Web site, djmixtapes.com, where he sells -- you guessed it -- mix tapes. "I just put [the MP3 files] up, but I really haven't followed the statistics."

And it's hard to follow statistics when you don't even now you're listed on the site. Rapper Alex Cowans, who performs under the name AK Love, didn't know he was listed on the site until he was asked to comment for this article. Neither he nor his Webmaster is quite sure how he got on MP3.com. But it's cool by Cowans. "I think it's real good. It's good for the future. It's easier for people overseas or in different states to find you."

The new traditionalists: Bluegrass band High Plains Tradition.

Can you digit?: The Web suits Zeut.
