okay, various people seem interested in this project so I thought I'd put it up here for all you xltronic producers.
I'm trying work my way around the whole music industry to promote musicians cheaply but effectively. I plan to distribute CDs, but they will be mp3 CDs of artists in a similar genre. Because they're data CDs, I (or the musician) can also include artist websites, bios, merchandisinn/booking info, concert dates, etc, etc. Also, I can fit 5 or 6 albums on one CD. Once I get enough participation I will make the CDs, which cost about a buck a piece and sell them for about as much. I have my own plans of making revenue off of this, which would be split between the musicians on the CD and myself. A lot of musicians promote their mp3s on websites like mp3.com or iuma or zebox, but that requires downloading and other inconveniences (member accounts and pop-ups and stuff). Hopefully what I do will help musicians and customers alike.
Of course, this is good for people who aren't concerned about having people share their music. There's a very intangible argument about the effect mp3s have on the music industry economy. I believe they are good, especially for independent musicians, and I am trying to prove my point; the RIAA and other musicians argue differently.
So that, in a nutshell, is humbleice the company. You all know how to reach me if you want more information or decide to participate. If you don't, e-mail me at grant.kidd@gmx.net
