It seems to me you want very badly to sell your music that you are willing to give it away in hopes that someone will buy it, but also failing to realize that that process in turns devalues Music for us all.-Respectfully-Dana


No you got it wrong. Im not talking about me at all, I dont need to sell my music.

My objective was to raise the possibility that giving some music away free, might yield better results than trying to sell it.

That when a customer can hear it, they might buy it.

The post originally came about from my listening to spotify. I think spotify is good for indies, as they can be heard.

As far as devaluing your music, well if nobody hears it, it has no value. This is the point.

How does some giving away music, hurt the value of your music?

This assumes all music is created equal too.

Its not the cost of the music that gives it value, it's the entertainment it provides.

If somebody gives you a cd as a gift, you didnt pay for it, but it still is enjoyable isnt it?

Not sure what "value" you are refering to, value to whom?
