Fasbio, I'll chime in here and join the chorus singing the praises of CDBaby -- especially since I just got an e-mail notification of another payment from them yesterday. And . . . for the very first time my sales of digital downloads actually surpassed my CD sales this month. They are workin' good for me. I couldn't be happier. Other advice . . . 500 or above. Believe me, you'll give too many away . . . and if you want more you'll have to print more. I personally wouldn't want less than 1000. I am down to just the last couple of dozen copies (or less) of my Flux Aeterna CD . . . and then they're gone. I now have to think twice before I give 'em away. It's unlikely to ever get reprinted. Don't look on it as a money-making proposition. Small guys like us hardly ever break even anyway. Do it for love . . . and then, if fate smiles on you . . . smile back. -- tEd ® kiLLiAn "Different is not always better, but better is always different" http://www.pfmentum.com/flux.html http://www.CDbaby.com/cd/tedkillian http://www.guitar9.com/fluxaeterna.html http://www.garageband.com/artist/ArsOcarina http://www.towerrecords.com/product.aspx?pfid=2845073 http://www.netmusic.com/web/album.aspx?a_id=CBNM_17314 http://www.indiejazz.com/ProductDetailsView.aspx?ProductID=193 http://www.loopers-delight.com/cgi-bin/profiles.cgi?step=view_profile&id=121197000042 Ted Killian's "Flux Aeterna" is also available at: Apple iTunes, BuyMusic, Rhapsody, MusicMatch, MusicNet, DiscLogic, Napster, AudioLunchbox, Lindows, QTRnote, Music4Cents, Etherstream, RuleRadio, EMEPE3, Sony Connect, CatchMusic, Puretracks, and Viztas.
