you will be needing this site then:

www.put-the-missing-bits-back-in-my-sto ... -tunes.com

it gets all those nasty 128kbps mp3s and puts some golden audiophile bits in to make them 320kbps. really works great

Don't forget www.flac-off.org, and also www.ogg-this-mutherfucker.edu, and finally, www.apeshitaudio.net.

Think about it as "free" publicity

Some how who stole your music and like it, when you go to gig somewhere close to those they'll go to see/listen you 'cos they know you and like (and stole) your music

... except if you are Madonna and ear lots of money selling oyur tunes, I do not see how much can we get fromm selling our music except as publicity, and do not get how can we lose money from this download thing...

i think everyone's taking too much of a black and white view on this.

i dont mind giving away music for free
and i dont mind letting people listen to a current release on myspace

but the line is drawn at being able to download say the most current track you are selling and having it stream online.

if you think you cant make money from music sales you're deluding yourself, but it takes things like ensuring your current track isnt all over blogland in the first week or so it's out.
