True.
Hard to spot when your eyes are rattling in their sockets though :lol:

Anyway - a good point was lost I felt in your blur of words...the adding of value above and beyond the music itself.

People will still shell out for beautiful, tangible THINGS if they're done right and are representative of the music (ok, if they reinforce the BRAND to be cynical)...

Instead of a disk with artwork on the box, sell a download or a memory stick and a mobile phone/ipod cover with your artwork on.
Yes, the ringtone market makes tens of millions. T-Pain is one of the highest selling artists!
