Music Download Cards

[Mathieu Benoit]

So... I'm seeing more and more artists use these nowadays. Seems like a neat idea. I wonder as a purchaser how much money you'd save as opposed to having CDs printed. Anyone know more about these cards?

[clinton]

well...obviously I know a bt about them since I gave yu one last night. For me they don't repace a CD but they certainly make for good promo and I would use them for things like lo-fi EP's and what not. I made 100 for about $125. I've only brought them to three shows now and have distrubted about 60. So for that price, they're doing their job.

[Mathieu Benoit]

Tha's a pretty good price. I agree, I think they're great for promotion. One of these days I'm going to write songs and record them. When that day comes I'll be making a hundred of those things.

hey this is the first i've heard of it.

do people buy the cards off the performer, and then have a set quota they are allowed to download?

like a pay as you go card or something.

cool idea.

Did you get a card with the code on it?

[jammy jamz]

not yet,

i was just trying to listen to the free samples, and i couldnt.

great idea tho.

it makes me wonder who is in control of the music once it is posted on the site. but, i've been called paranoid before.

i just heard thunder in november.
