It's a good way to get exposure, but it probably won't happen. If they did do that, then they'd get thousands of requests every day.
The best advice I can tell you to get exposure, and noticed, is to build a following. When you play.....people should want to come listen and party with you. If you're not attracting them, then you may have some of these problems:
#1 the band sucks.......no one will come for a sucky band
#2 the music list sucks.....they won't come to party if you don't play songs that the people like.
#3 the equipment sucks or it's adjusted wrong.....they won't party if it sounds like you singing in a box, or if you're equipment is constantly failing.
So think of all this. Why would someone want to listen to you? You need to tape yourself in practice, then listen to it the next day. How is your stage presence? Try practicing in front of a mirror.
You may think all of this is BS, but I've been there....done that. If you want to sell your music, you're going to have to crawl before you walk. People are looking for awesome bands to party with. You also have to take in account of your location. You can't expect to have a good following playing grunge in redneck country. Best of luck to you and your band.

I'm not sure about regular music but if you have a music video:

Have you thought about distributing your music through Burnlounge? You can submit your CD and have your music on over 50,000+ websites and when people download your music you make money. I have a burnlounge store at http://burnlounge.com/mlbliss and if you would like more info on this just send me an email and I would be happy to help you out.
Research them at http://corp.burnlounge.com

I think Yahoo Launch is for artists who have 'made it' already
But if your music is of the rock/indie type you can always send it to Zane Lowe of BBC radio 1...he can expose you to many opportunities if he likes your stuff
Of course creating blogspots and using other internet tools and spreading the word can also be helpful
Here is Zane's address for more info:

Don't worry if your music isnt of the rock/indie genre: send it to Radio 1 anyway, and they'll expose your music if they like it....
