  1. Re:Is it too late? by titus-g · · Score: 1 · on The MP3 Troubles Continue
    I'm sure they will be able to find a profit on the net, as everyone will eventually have to. It's the dawn of a new economic model, in which providers of products and services will have a more "direct" access to their customers than they had previously

    think they are just a 'bit' slow, they could be making a profit now, for e.g. is music really that much different from porn?, both are available free in huge quantities online, but are the traditional porn companies making more or less money now?

    not a perfect comparison i guess as porn works on the internet for reasons irrelevant to the music industry. accurate in that the companies behind both have similar mentalities & methods though.

    goodnoise.com has been selling mp3's on the web since way before napster

  2. One thing missing from comments by LeBleu · · Score: 1 · on Feature:The Empire Strikes Back

    Ok all, there's lots of good comments here, but one thing missing... links to places to get *legal* MP3s!

    GoodNoise - I like this place, they have some free mp3s, plus mp3s at $1/song or $10 for an entire album. They even are set up so if your download is interuppted, you can still go and get the music. They have some good artists, including my personal fave, They Might Be Giants.

    MP3.com - I haven't really used this place much, they have a *ton* of mp3s available for download free, but last I checked it was kind've hard to find out who was good and who isn't, this may have improved now though.

    Also, if you're an artist, check out D.A.M. (Digital Automatic Music) System . They give you 50% of the sales from CDs! With a non-exclusive contract! I don't make music myself, but this sounds like a really great deal to me.

  3. kudos to Steve Grady by Fletch · · Score: 0 · on RIAA wants to assassinate MP3

    from the article: "Steve Grady, vice president of marketing at MP3 retailer GoodNoise, said that if the record labels don't put the consumer first in their architecture plans, piracy will only increase and the industry could ultimately lose out on new business opportunities on the Web."   What's this? An industry honcho with the consumer in mind? The RIAA and the companies it represents should take a lesson from this man.   I'm not worried. If people want MP3, it will always be around. Plain and simple. As soon as SDMI starts becoming popular w/ the record companies (and it will) i'll find a cracked player (cracked not to take away from the developer(s), just not to fund the RIAA) and record the SDMI files to wav w/ total recorder as they pass through my soundcard. After all, that's how i've been converting the liquid audio and a2b "secure" foramts all along.

  5. Paying for MP3's? by SIGBUS · · Score: 1 · on MP3 Dead? What, Already?
    Yeah, it's called "buying your CD's and encoding them." Got a clue yet?

    I also have a few tracks that i've paid for via GoodNoise.

    MP3 (Cool let's steal music)

    Ahem. That's cool let's buy music or cool let's legally download music.

  7. Poster Children by mattdm · · Score: 1 · on David Bowie on Use Of MP3s
    Yeah Bowie whatever. If you want good made-by-geeks-for-geeks post-punk, check out The Poster Children. They're releasing their whole next album in MP3 format. And they have a cool single available now for free -- "dedicated to anyone who spends most of his/her waking hours sitting in a small room, in front of a computer (and ENJOYS it!)."

  8. Poster Children album in MP3 format by mattdm · · Score: 1 · on RIO, MP3 Under Attack in Wall Street Journal
    While the major labels are fussing about stuff like this, the indies and smaller companies are taking the lead. Ubergeek band Poster Children recently left Reprise partly so they could do stuff like this: their new album will be available in stores on CD (including nifty enhanced CD stuff they programmed themselves) or you can pay a small amount and download the whole thing.

    And, there's a full-length free track which seems very appropriate for /.ers: 6x6.

    Don't call me I won't pick up the phone
    Don't try knocking I won't answer the door

    Apartment of my dreams, surrounded by machines
    This room's got everything I need

  10. Not that exciting. by mattdm · · Score: 1 · on Public Enemy Release full single as mp4
    This isn't particularly groundbreaking or anything. Check out Good Noise, where you can download singles (or whole albums, for a small price) from SpinArt artists like Frank Black. And I'm sure others here can put together a decent list of other semi-big-names who have released MP3 singles already.
