Digg your post and boost traffic and feedback to it. Digg is one of the most popular networking sites in the internet.

How it works:

Discover
Submit your favorites. Find an article, video, or podcast online and submit it to Digg.com. Your submission will immediately appear in “Upcoming Stories,” where other members can find it and, if they like it, Digg it.

Become popular. Once a submission has earned a critical mass of Diggs, it becomes “popular” and jumps to the homepage in its category. If it becomes one of the most popular, it qualifies as a “Top 10”. If a submission doesn't receive enough Diggs within a certain time period, it eventually falls out of the “Upcoming” section.

Discover media on Digg. Visit the “Upcoming” section to discover recently added news, videos, and podcasts. Track submissions as they come in with Swarm, Stack, Big Spy or Arc, our real-time Flash visualization tools in Digg Labs. Or use Spy to watch the titles and descriptions as they roll down the page.

Of course, you can always check the topic homepages to see what's newly popular. And you can subscribe to RSS feeds of particular topics, popular/upcoming sections, individual users, and the search terms of your choice.

Digg. Participate in the collaborative editorial process by Digging the stuff that you like best. As you Digg, you contribute to the popularity of any given item. You also build a history of Digging that you or your friends can view.

Bury. If you find stories with bad links, off-topic content, or duplicate entries, click “Bury.” That’s how we get the spam out of the system and let the good stuff rise to the top.
The system only works when users actively participate on a large scale, so make sure to do your part and Digg and Bury content that matters to you!
Share

Build a network. Invite your friends or find them on Digg and add them to your friends list. Then your friends can track what you’re Digging and you can see what they Digg as well, enabling you to collectively find news together.
Email. Send your friends (Diggers or non-Diggers) the stories that you Digg.

Comment. Share your opinions by commenting on stories, videos, and podcasts as well as Digging and Burying comments by other users.

I do not understand what Digg is. I have seen it on another site, but don't quite get what it does?

It probably sounds like that because you obviously didn't take more than 5 seconds to understand what it does.

This is an opportunity for people to get their songs out to the masses after sharing them here. It's like the rating system only it gets viewed by many others out there, not just here.

The points system was flawed and left the board vulnerable to attacks.

Yeah ok!.....I understand exactly wot it does. Maybe I only judged it on wot it could'nt do for me personally.

I would suggest you only do this for ORIGINAL music posts. This could lead to problems for cover tunes. Just saying is all...

Eric does this circumnavigate the delay in playing tunes for non members?

Yeah I wondered about that too! There's a shed load of top quality covers on here, and IMO some are better than the original releases.

Yes, unfortunately they will still have to register to hear the songs. If I did it any other way the bandwidth would skyrocket beyond what we have available.
