Not into albums?

I finally got around to reading this very positive USA Today article on Magnatune, pointed to by Victor and Scott.
I’ve been on Magnatune for just over a month now and I have to say I’m really pleased. I sell about an album a day, which isn’t designer clothes money, but it looks like I should be able to afford a couple of pimp cups with my first royalty check, so that’s aiight.
I was initially skeptical of Magnatune and basically joined because I felt I had nothing to lose, but I’m glad that I did. It’s a very relaxing way to sell records compared to my $5 hand-made, burned and mailed model and it has definitely helped get the Brad Sucks music out there to people who might not have found it otherwise.
I’m real excited to see what’ll happen as Magnatune grows and whether my obsessive sales stat checking habit is going to get worse before it gets better.

you’re doing *very* well there, relatively. i only sell one every couple days, but i sold like 4 in one day after that article came out! and don’t worry, you’re not the only OCD loser checking their stat more than once a day.
isn’t it nice not to have to spend money on media, burn CD’s, print labels and schlepp to the post office? leaves so much more time for video games. i mean, songwriting.
