I just tenderly launched a rails website targeting musicians,  
especially of the DIY/bedroom variety, who are looking for a good  
online home.

> **[Latest Music](https://alonetone.com/)**

Take a peek! If you know any musicians who record on their own, please  
pass the word on. Those are the people we want to help out and have  
sign up with us.

So far, musicians can upload their tracks (mp3/zip), create playlists,  
get dynamically generated flash mp3 players, submit a feed to itunes,  
and track who is listening to their tracks.

The big sell point for us is that it has nothing to do with money. No  
advertisements on the pages. No company. Just a little website that  
serves the interest of the musicians. As a musician, this feels good  
to me. I found it a little screwed up that 99% of musician-targeted  
sites out there are making good money while the musicians sit there  
and go nowhere fast!
