Halfworld EP Remastered on iTunes w/ 2 extra Tracks   Message List

Re: Halfworld EP Remastered on iTunes w/ 2 extra Tracks

To Scott's point earlier about where the money is going, CDBaby has a
'for artists' section that goes over that. I think for sales on
CDBaby, the band keeps 90% of the selling price: $9 x 90% = $8.10 in
the case of Halfworld. iTunes and their ilk pay on average 60% of
their selling price to CDBaby, which in turn pays out 90% to the band.
So, $7 x 60% x 90% = about $3.80 for Halfworld.

So, CDBaby sounds like a better deal for the band, dollar-wise. And
I'm all for sending this band the beer money they so richly deserve.
On the other hand, I might have read that wrong, or it may just be
marketing BS. Or maybe a decent showing on iTunes gets a little more
notice for UHP, Freezepop, Anarchy Club, etc. I don't have those answers.

Scott, has any of this actually answered your question? What to do
with the bootleg files? -B

Scott, I think you should replace the link for those songs/this album with a link to itunes to promote the Splashdown members. The reason you put the songs up...

iTunes is all 128 (as far as I know). I did download 50% from iTunes and CDBaby and there is an audible difference in sound quality, the version from cdbaby...

It's worth mentioning, the MP3s on my site are all at a bitrate of 192 kbps. I used to have 256, but those fFiles were needlessly large with very little...

I believe the SQ on cdbaby may have something to do with the VBR they use. I've done some blind tests on CD's I've ripped into iTunes using Apple Lossless for...

Keep in mind that while iTunes sells songs at 128 kbps, they sell them in AAC format. AAC is generally considered to be a higher quality codec, allowing lower...

Seconded. While I love the idea of remastered tracks being available, I abhor iTunes and DRM-crippled MP3s. (Putting them on iTunes Plus is potentially an...
