Some time back, I would have said that about sites such as Playboy, yet webmasters jumped in, and made it work.
"big money", as for the money, would you be looking to make as much as Sony records? Well no, but do you earn as much as Sony records as you do with porn? Well of course not. No one is suggesting you will make millions, but there is no reason why you could not earn from it.
The way I see it, is that a band produces a send, or several songs. The song(s) are then sold to webmasters on a licence system. If the song/record is good then more sites will buy it. And so, both the band and producers make there cash this way. OK, it may be less money than selling CD's for a band, BUT, if the band was not taken on by any record firm, this is a good way to get exposure.
Webmasters would then sell the MP3 files, probably on a token payment setup, maybe say 1 dollar a song.
MP3 players are getting very popular AND your target ordiance is everybody, not just adults.

I don?t think small webmasters can make any big money through that, only big companies/sites can make real profits, basically the companies with own content (songs) and they will make less money with that as they did before with selling the expensive CD?s
