hmmm, that might be difficult to achieve. I'd think tryng to get the prices right would be more difficult under this kind of scheme.


Yeah I don't know how napster, yahoo, bands or record labels make any money from the unlimited rental services services. I want the service to find new music and when I find bands I like I buy the disks I like to get the whole record not just individual tracks.

One thing we have set up on my band's current site is that if you buy the physical CD you can download all of the tracks immediatly. They're DRM protected (not my choice- it's the system we're using), but that's not a biggie if you're receiving the CD in the mail. I wish more sites would do this.


I have seen that before too. It's nice to get the songs right away but with the rental type services it wouldn't matter because you would have already downloaded the tracks.

I would have thought the bands would prefer drm but it doesn't appear that way. Emusic had way more indie bands than napster and napster claims to be pursuing them.

Maybe instead of a music service you could do a specialized search engine.
