You may think that people come to your site to appreciate your original music. People may be lured by your music but return for your links, your writing, or anything else you may offer that you did not think was attractive. Not everyone has the same computer set-up as you. Not everybody surfs the web as you do or as you would expect. Not everyone has the same attention span.
Web surfers are very fickle.
If something doesn't work the first time, they are unlikely to return. In general, people don't stick around. In these days of information overload, your job is to attract them in the first place, hold their attention long enough to make them want to return, and lure them to come back and tell other people about your site. Start with people you know. If you share the same physical space, show them your site.
