www.mp3.com.au is far better. Unlimited space/number of songs, and no registration required for people wanting to download.

soundclick.com is also decent...there are loads of options out there.

mp3.com used to be good. i was making about 40USD a month off them just for having my tracks up and being listened to. and back then my music was pretty low quality even..

Mp3.com.au does, but soundclick requires you to do a small registration (email and name). I'd tend to say that .com.au is better anyhow.
