Here is a poll to see who would support our music dowload website

I think there are some good ideas out there. Trying to incorproate them all would be a difficult mission to say the least.
I would just like to clear some things up.
1: DRM will allow you to copy your song to an mp3 player and burn it to an audio CD 10 times each. Thats 20 times you can take it from your pc with you. How many times do you plan to lose your CD's? The labels are not keen to authorize wma (not mp3 by the way) music files because someone pays his $1, downloads the track and gives it free of charge to all his buddies. Maybe they do take a bigger cut and the artist gets 1% but then sign with other lables that are more progressive in their thinking (but thats another topic).
2: It would be impossible to offer files in every format available. At the moment wma files (I know, down with microsoft, etc, etc - thats another forum) are what we've been investigating.
3: There would be a quality control process for independant artists - in fact we could probably pay somebody to help us out with this. Anybody wanna listen to free trance and get paid for it?
4: Cash wise we're just party goers like you guys and are looking to spread the reach of some the kick ass music we've all danced/tripped to. The site will start small but the more support we get the easier it would be to convince more labels of its usefullness to them.
5: It will be a community shop on the web, not some iTunes corporation. We're just 2 guys who dig the music.
6: How many of you guys have heard South African psytrance? I would think probably not many and this is my point - what kick ass music from South Africa, Australia, Thailand, Brazil, etc are you missing because the artist doesn't have the resources to print 50 000 CD's and distribute around the world.
Nice one tell them there boundaries will blast open and a new wave of psytrance is coming!

yeah good quality is what we will strive for because you can't have bad quality sound with trance so 320 will hopefullt be our standard but we want to offer many formats to choose from.Yeah, VBR will work as well - even better. The main thing I would hate to see is if a new store would sell a low bitrate like 192kbps. Click-a-track is a store that was started by the Plusquam guys and had a lot of nice psy-progressive labels. I would have blown loads of money there except for the fact that they only sold 192kbps format and did not even consider the possibility of anything higher. Several other stores I've checked out have only had 192kbps files (CBR) as well, which is quite a shame, IMO. 320 CBR is IMO the minimum I would like to see. But a 320 VBR would be even better.
As far as pricing goes we will hopefully sell south african trance at 1 pound and international as 1 pound 50. which means a full cd download costs between 10 to 15 pounds. Which is not bad for trance

yeah we intend to try and get all the labels involved with this and hope to have many tracks mostly south african psy and the other big labels hopefully.
South African Psy is the best man
-
its the wave of the future if done right
-
Give me your honest opinion how much you are willing to pay for international stuff in pounds per track?
-
So basically you can put a cd together for around 100 rand which is about 10 pounds or 16 dollars.
Sounds Good Hey?
-
It is actually the other way round it is 6 rand for 1 dollar and 11 rand for 1 pound that makes better sense now.
Good festivals to go to
in General Psytrance

Hey it might be far but the best music and trance parties are in South Africa Western Cape to be exact. Like this weekend is the beartrap featuring broken toy and rinkadink album launches and dark soho on top of that then theres the timecode crew to grind us to the ground. plus we dont fool around its hard and very psychedelic.
