How Bout that Music
Slowly but surely (I assume) Tunecore is getting my music into the stores I requested. I did some hunting to see where it was findable so far.
Here are places to buy my MP3s. The lowest price is at http://amiestreet.com/music/dr-phlogist
They have a system where new music starts out dirt-cheap and the more people buy it, the price goes up. This encourages people to try new stuff, and charges full price for the most popular music. Smart. My stuff is still dirt-priced. But alas, AmieStreet only has ONE of my currently available digital-download albums. The other one can be most easily found at http://www.rhapsody.com/dr-phlogist
My stuff has also turned up at Amazon.com (in the MP3 section), iTunes, and eMusic. But Amazon and eMusic are difficult to link to from outside, and you can only use iTunes if you have the iTunes software on your computer. The links I've given you are the best for these two albums. A third one might be coming to entirely different stores via Routenote in a month or so...
Meanwhile, here's an idea: PERSONAL THEME MUSIC. I could make a 30-second track on request; tell me the style and the mood it should convey, and I'll whip it together. A musical commission, if you will, and then you could play it on your website or whatever (including a link telling visitors where you got that awesome music.) I have a price in mind, but I inquire of the wisdom of LiveJournal readers: how much would you pay for something like this?
I need to learn how to stream MP3 files on my website, so I can put up samples to listen to. Also how to make the link button which the customer pastes into his webpage.
