I've been posting shows and clips to Archive.org.

Once you post a FLAC or other format there, it automatically converts your 
show to other formats, so people can download an MP3 or even stream it 
live, or download the FLAC, depending on how much commitment they want 
to put into hearing your show.  Also, Archive allows extensive 
documentation.

The only trick is finding the right category.  If they don't already have your 
band in their list, I think you can post to "Open Source Audio."  I believe 
Archive.org is primarily for bands that allow taping (or where you got 
permission), but I'm not sure.

All the text you enter can be picked up by searches.  For example, if anyone 
on DAT-Heads would like to hear some of my latest Nels Cline -related 
postings, just go to Archive.org, search for "Nels Cline," and then set the 
display order to "most recent posted first" - you will see some of mine near 
the top!
