Hi,
If we were to offer a MP3 sale service, would people use it?
So the idea would be you have your tunes uploaded, and they can just be purchased using Paypal. Simple as that really, a bit like on Dig Station and other sites... I'm just getting a feel. Seeing as the way the music industry is headed is less labels, more sites selling independent music where you can just download and stick on your iPod.
Thoughts?

Sounds interesting, stoo. I wouldnt want to set a price as high as say, itunes though. and i presume you would be taking a small cut for admin costs? - actually paypal do that dont they? of course it would be good for the site too, as sellers would direct punters here to buy. I quite like the idea. it would be good if people could stream the song (or part of it) first to see if they liked it.
Son, someday you will make a girl very happy, for a short period of time. Then she'll leave you and be with new men who are ten times better than you could ever hope to be. These men are called musicians.

Speaking objectively, as I'm not in the business of creating mp3s for sale - the idea would result in negligible sales, imo - context.
Furthermore, and personally speaking, it's becoming increasingly annoying to be only seen as part of someone's potential customer base; but whether that's relevant - I dunno.

yeah good idea. What would be quite cool is developing a media player script that can handle sales so that users can add it to their web page to encourage sales and also promote the good name of musofinder!
