Re: Doing it the correct way (was: Putting out your CD)

Oh, sorry. I should check my English better when posting ;-)  Please  
forget about "flooding", it was just a badly chose word that in my  
imagination was equal to "underpriced". Someone else had already  
posted the fact that Apple doesn't make money on selling digital  
music - the iTMS is just a very clever marketing trick for selling  
iPOD's, where they gain the money they are loosing on iTMS. So I  
didn't think I had to repeat that part again.
