i remember the old tunes section which got deleted some months ago. i thought that was a wicked feature.

I actually am in this for the money and fame. I love disappointment.

I suppose at least if you do it for nothing, Chinese dubsteppers of the future won't be able to undercut your prices in several years.

I'll give tunes away for free if someone pays me - sounds like a fair compromise.

That is one of the best ideas I've heard in a while.

Unfortunately they can't actually grant wishes, anymore than they can avoid heightest slurs. A good scam nonetheless though - little hats off to them.

Curiously, Albania is also an anagram of Albania. I'm not totally sure about this one, but it's what I've been told (I don't think they contain the same letters thinking about it)

I think we did very well, but we should stop now

Remember what happened last time

Yeah if we're seen congregating on the same thread we get banned for life.

I'll put the thread back on track. With regards to the hosting. I reckon it's a good idea. We should push this a little harder. Someone needs to take the lead on this as the it will only get done when someone pulls the fingure out.
I've been planning to do this for a while so i may as well go for it as there seems to be a bit of interest. And it would be better if someone from the forum does it as i think this would instill a little more confidence from the producers who post tracks regularly.

Or alternatively, you can permanently host them on Soundclick with free 128 mp3 giveaway and then charge a nominal amount for the 320. Seems to make sense and its already set up.

parson · Post by **parson** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 6:09 pm

are people really selling 320s on soundclick?

i'd like to some success stories if anybody gots some

Darks has already got something going so I'm gonna help him on that. Sorry.

» MP3 singles: sold for $0.75 USD, you get $0.52 USD for each sale (default, can be edited)
» MP3 albums: sold for $7.99 USD, you get $5.59 USD for each sale (default, can be edited)

So it looks like you can set your own prices on it. You do need the VIP account to get 320s out though, and that's $9.99 p/m. Looks like you get to keep 70% of any royalties paid out (minus the usual paypal skanking you usually get). So if my sums are correct you'd need to sell 13 copies to pay for the account.

I don't buy mp3's ever though but if the market's there it might be worth looking at your options.

i'm not payin no $10 just to sell tracks for $.50 which probably won't sell anyway

easier to give em out to people who ask

shonky · Post by **shonky** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 6:46 pm

Yeah, that's probably better to be honest. Maybe Pressing Issues could do it as a service, that way we could get a lot of tunes out and then get the best sellers on vinyl. Noice

You will find this as a new implementation on http://www.GetDarker.com

The direct link to this system is: http://www.getdarker.com/index.php?id=85

Please note: Similar process to yousendit yet faster upload/download times, the links DO NOT expire. Working only with mp3 files Once the upload is complete, you will be immediately issued with a unique url link, which you can distribute to individuals.

This being ideal for track distribution, uploading samples, or to find out details on track ID's etc
