Evening all.

From a producer's point of view, MP3.Com doesn't help me much as it doesn't
recodnise the files I tried sending. So much for that.
From a consumer's point of view, I'm disappointed at the limit on pages. I
used to love spending hours downloading whole albums of stuff I never heard
before. I can sort of see it from their point of view, I imagine web space
costs money to maintain, but still, it's a disappointment. And in any case,
it's not as if they lack corporate sponsershit.

Just about what Ian's been writing about distributing his own stuff - I
think the main thing is just the act of creation, the recording and enjoying
your own music. There's such a saturation of people putting out their own
stuff now that you know you'll never get loads of people listening to your
own music without some outside muscle helping you out. But I always enjoyed
the personal communication side of the home-recording movement, rather than
any ideas of wider acceptance. Statistics usually are against us, but if
your proud of what you do, that should be enough.

In Almonsin-Metatron.
