MP3.com has announced that despite recent legal issues at amazingly large financial costs, they will extend their payback for playback offer for artists who profile their music through MP3.com through October.

The company has been paying the digital music community an estimated million dollars a month since May through the service, and have given out over $7 million dollars to the artists which make up their collection of online music since the inception of the program in November 1999.

New Artists are encouraged to sign up with MP3.com, upload their music and / or audio files on-line, and participate in the program.

I for one would like to extend a gracious thank you to all of the staff of MP3.com for assisting in bringing more opportunity to the community, and blazing on the trail right on the front lines of the MP3 revolution.
