I just integrated this special download-shop in my
own website: www.easybe.com and I have also
seen it on Adrian Belew´s website: http://adrianbelew.net/1-2-3-music-store/process.php?pname=ShopfrontProcess-Start
Works perfectly for me and I´m nearly finished
to put the first downloads online. And it´s rather cheap and with nice supply
people.
Cheers
Ingo

Subject: Re: mp3/flac selling services > Ideas anyone? I'm not sure what kind of ideas you mean, Michael, but I here are two sites I like: http://www.magnatune.com and http://www.jamendo.com/en/. Magnatune sells albums in the formats MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC and AAC. Play your music on any platform: Windows, Mac and Linux. No copy protection (DRM), ever. When you burn a CD from their WAV files, you'll have the same sound fidelity as a store-bought CD. But they also sell physical CDs. Last time I bought an album (16 bit wave format) you could pay whatever you wanted over a set minimal price. I think that is nice, because if you should happen to have more money you are able to give more to an artist you like and wants to support. Magnatune have a funny branding, they admit being a record label but they also stress that they "are not evil" ;-) Jamendo only offers downloadable music albums in two formats: 200 Kbps MP3 or 300 Kbps Ogg Vorbis. The Ogg alternative is close to CD fidelity. Some offered music is really good and I think they are making a mistake in not offering also a FLAC alternative (lossless, full fidelity format). Music is given away for free and listeners can donate by PayPal directly to the artists. All music recordings are licensed according to Creative Commons. Jamendo started in France and the site, that is rather community oriented, has grown into French speaking areas and English speaking areas. I doubt they will ever meet ;-)) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.boysen.se (Swedish) www.looproom.com (international) http://tinyurl.com/2kek7h (latest music release) |
