Are you sure you want to forbid remixes? Things like mixing the
music in a home-made youtube video would be forbidden if you
choose the "No Derivative" option. Derivatives can make a lot of
fans. See the "Brad Sucks" case for a good example:

Jamendo (jamendo.com) is my favorite sharing site for music under
CC licenses. In addition to the free hosting for your music, jamendo
shares its ads revenues with authors; so if your album becomes very
popular, you may get some money through the revenue sharing program
and through donations made by users (well, I would not expect to get
a lot of money... but I think it is a nice way of supporting authors
who share their music anyways).
