If you do not have the money from gig sales to pony up the CD production costs, and the $40 fee, then sorry, your music probably sucks and the online services are better without you and other no-talented musicians saturating the service.
Not that I am attacking you personally, but really, if one is serious about making music then there should be no issue in spending a few thousand bucks producing a studio quality CD.
If you do not make any changes to your computer, then there is no need to do a complete reinstall of your OS. However for some people, reinstalling from scratch is the only and sure fire way to get stability and performance back from the machine.
This is the case with OS X as well. The speed increase after reinstalling OS X on my iBook 700 was absolutely amazing.
Oh and one more thing - if you plan to wipe out your HD and reinstall, might as well partition your harddrive so that you can put user files (docs, pics, etc) on a separate drive, making future reinstalls less painfull and easier to backup.
I agree 100%. Sometimes I can spend an entire afternoon trying to get a complete album. If I could download the complete album from the artist's website for 5 bucks, DRM or not, I would.

Ah, that was the funniest thing I read all morning! To the EXTREME dude.
Then there is not much of an issue here. You can send CD Baby 5 CDs and you are good to go!
Weeding out the losers.
