I just bought my song for $0.99... does that make me shallow?
 
I have tried cdBaby's digital distribution service this month and it's time to approve all my info just before everything gets locked and sent off to the cloud.
 
It seemed like I should buy a copy off of the cdBaby site just to make sure that it sounded like the song I sent in. :-)
 
Luckily I had some money at paypal from some stuff I sold on ebay.
 
Funny thing is, it sounds a lot better when you pay the $0.99 for it. 
 
I guess I must be that shallow. :-)

That sounds like a good idea Mike...   however, I don't have enough money to make any of my songs sound better

No, you're not shallow.  It's quality control.  Now if Bapu did it...
 
 
 
...it would somehow become a shameless plug.

Hi,
 
An old friend from Australia, was a psychic, and he used to say some funny things and one of them was that when you paid for something, the more you pay for it, the more you appreciate it and take care of it.
 
Oppppssss ... there went my girlfriend! 
 
On the other side, a couple of folks on this Forum have been offered some money for some help, and they weren't interested. I'm still figuring out the semantics and the astrophysical design of that!

I think that is known throughout the world as the "Buoy Ltd." effect.

I think it's always a good idea to check the process and the merchandise to be sure everything is working correctly.
 
Better for you to find out than to have a bunch of angry customers emailing you because the store either didn't work right or the song has sound quality issues you were unaware of.
 
Now you know.... and you just made a sale.

McQ,
 
You lose on the piece price but if you buy enough you'll make it up in volume.
 
Business 101.

I should have thought of that.
 
Hey, BTW can you email Straummy and ask him to check his PMs?

McQ,
 
I'll be talking to him on the phone within the hour. I'll try to remember to tell him.

$0.99 is a pretty cheap shameless plug, no?
