")...i hope i dont go to jail"
lol, i'm sure the punishment won't be that hard :-p I guess your biggest risk is that one day one of those envelopes will arive at the recipient empty. (or won't arrive at all). Alot of things aren't allowed when sending mail (like using perfectly square envelopes, writing the addres on the wrong place, writing the addres of the sender on the front instead of the back)... we're supposed to send all that stuff back, but we let most of it slide. Hardly any mail would be left if we were that strict ;-)
"and write 2000 addresses!"
Yes exactly! It really is alot of work... 2000 copies doesn't seem like much for a cd... but when you have to send them all yourself it's ALOT. Maybe you'll appreciate recordlabels some more after this, for taking care of all that kind of stuff ;-)
But once the money starts rolling in, i bet the sore hands and numb tongue will be quickly forgotten :-p

"more than 1000 euros in one mail"
!!! Well a 1000 euros is alot of money!
I'd be pretty upset already if 100 euros of mind got lost in the mail.

its a good way of selling music this way Jhok, much better for the artist for sure
But J-HOK do u hav that much faith in people to give them all the tracks for free, in high quality mp3 and still expect them to pay up? i dont think half the c*nts will...
i always thought putting up all the tracks, but in say 92 kbps was a better way, so if they want the proper thing in gud quality they can pay 4 it...
by the way, wats so special about 'special edition' ?! i bet it includes a pack of super glue of something cheesy like that :-)

"give them all the tracks for free, in high quality mp3 and still expect them to pay up?"
Well that'll be very interesting to observe... The main argument you always get from the mp3-downloaders is how they hate the MusicIndustry, and they don't want to put more money in their pockets.
So theoretically, that would mean they're all gonna pay for this cd since the industry isn't involved... right? I'm very curious.
I'm gonna listen to those mp3's first, but if i like them i'll definitly place an order.

my reasons for putting high quality mp3s up: 1 they'll be on soulseek soon after release anyway 2 my mp3s will be hi-quality made from the original wav files, not from audio CD
3 the mp3s will have links back to my website 4 fast download 5 30 second or 1 minute samples are a pain 6 ^&6

The trick is to take orders for the album FIRST, then release mp3's SECOND. Its a logical move.
