I am curious what the best promotional websites are for simply getting your music heard, money aside. I am mainly looking for music websites where I can upload a full album and have people be able to download them for free.

Does iTunes allow you to upload your music available for free downloads?

iTunes can connect to the iTunes Store to purchase and download music, music videos, television shows, iPod Games, Audiobooks, Podcasts, movies and movie rentals (not available in all countries), and Ringtones (only available on iPhone and iPod Touch 4th Generation). It is also used to download Apps from the App Store for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. iTunes has been criticized for its lack of transferability of music from one portable device to another.This can't be used for music uploading.
There is one site for music promotion that may help to resolve your problem that is Musicians Atlas.

Just curious, how would Musician's Atlas PROMOTE an artist, as opposed to simply offering services available for free from places like Reverbnation (eg hosting of tunes, web page, listing of shows, etc) Most of these sites offer opportunities for SELF-promotion by annoying others with constant messages avbbout latest downloads and new shows, etc.

Promotion is surely about getting your music to the right audience and that takes personal contacts.

I'm 99% sure that she's just spamming.
All of a sudden in one day she bumped half a dozen threads in the promotion forum to talk about the website linked in her signature? And some of those threads have been quiet for as much as a year? That's spammer behavior.

MySpace is dying but not quite dead yet. The 300 pound gorilla doesn't just drop dead in a couple years. It lingers and slowly decays, wafting its ever-more-ripe stench throughout the internet.

A good comparison would be Geocities. It stopped being relevant years and years ago, but it didn't finally die until 2009.
 
Oh come on! You're not even pretending to not be a spam bot!
 
I've used SoundCloud to get my music out there. Also Reverbnation, Root Music, Myspace (just basically keep a presence there now), Zune, iTunes, indierhythm, ilike, purevolume, lastfm, digistation, CDBaby, headliner.fm and a few more I have probably forgotten about, lol. Out of the sites listed above, I have seen the biggest results from Reverbnation. Root Music allows you to create a band page for your Facebook page where people can listen to, download, share, or purchase your music. I always direct all of the sites back to my main website, (lindasylvestermusic.com). My goal is to get people interested enough to go to the website, listen to more music, read the blog, purchase music and merchandise, and stay connected. I offer a free music download on my website when people sign up to receive e-mails, newsletters, etc. from my site. I send out a monthly newsletter that updates the fan base on the music and current happenings, giveaways, events, etc. Hope this helps!
 
I think My space is best,also you tube and face book both are OK to promote music online.I will suggest some methods to promote your music Hold contests on your blog or website and allow visitors to win free CDs, T-shirts or other merchandise. This encourages individuals to continue visiting your site and recommend it to others. It also encourages visitor participation.
 
I haven't had much success with Myspace, but that may be due to my style of music...not mainstream. I agree with allistersmith, anything you can do to keep the fan base interacting and coming back to your website will benefit you. Oddly enough, I've made some awesome connections on Linked In as well...got a music few licensing opportunities through there and new fans from the groups I joined on there.
