DEMONSPELL’S SONGS TO WATCH…at mp3.com. Greetings, devoted readers and listeners! Experience some of today's finest metal, all in one location. Totally free, no software to download, no waiting. Here is a mini-FAQ:

Q: What exactly is an mp3.com station?
A: A user-selected playlist, with the option to play all songs consecutively or listen to them separately.

Q: Why did you include, for example, The Curse Of Feanor instead of The Bard's Song?
A: The page contains link to the band's mp3.com page, for easy access to other available selections.

Q: Why aren't there any song descriptions yet?
A: I'll work on that next.

Q: Why didn't you include, say, Symphony X?
A: mp3.com station managers are limited to songs and artists hosted by mp3.com in their choices.

Q: What is the URL?
A: Most mp3.com pages have two URL's, the exact location and the express one, which redirects to the former. My station's address is http://www.mp3.com/stations/songstowatch

Q: How can my band be featured?
A: If you have songs up at mp3.com, just give me the URL, I'll give you a listen, and if I approve, I'll add it to the station.
