Fw: mp3/flac selling services

I just integrated this special download-shop in my own website: www.easybe.com and I have also seen it on Adrian Belew´s website: http://adrianbelew.net/1-2-3-music-store/process.php?pname=ShopfrontProcess-Start
 
Works perfectly for me and I´m nearly finished to put the first downloads online. And it´s rather cheap and with nice supply people.
 
Cheers
Ingo

I'm not sure what kind of ideas you mean, Michael, but I here are two 
sites I like: http://www.magnatune.com and http://www.jamendo.com/en/.

Magnatune sells albums in the formats MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC and AAC. 
Play your music on any platform: Windows, Mac and Linux. No copy 
protection (DRM), ever. When you burn a CD from their WAV files, 
you'll have the same sound fidelity as a store-bought CD. But they 
also sell physical CDs. Last time I bought an album (16 bit wave 
format) you could pay whatever you wanted over a set minimal price. I 
think that is nice, because if you should happen to have more money 
you are able to give more to an artist you like and wants to support. 
Magnatune have a funny branding, they admit being a record label but 
they also stress that they "are not evil" ;-)

Jamendo only offers downloadable music albums in two formats: 200 
Kbps MP3 or 300 Kbps Ogg Vorbis. The Ogg alternative is close to CD 
fidelity. Some offered music is really good and I think they are 
making a mistake in not offering also a FLAC alternative (lossless, 
full fidelity format).  Music is given away for free and listeners 
can donate by PayPal directly to the artists. All music recordings 
are licensed according to Creative Commons. Jamendo started in France 
and the site, that is rather community oriented, has grown into 
French speaking areas and English speaking areas. I doubt they will 
ever meet ;-))
