I listened to the four songs and found them to be great. As for a
venue for selling mp3's I'm not sure how it will fly. My desires are
probably pretty special and may not mesh with the rest of the readers,
but I'll give you my two cents worth anyhow. If I like a song, and
there are many ways I can find out the songs I like, I'd be jumping
for joy if upon purchasing a pdf file of one of your arrangements, the
mp3 of you playing the piece would be thrown in. I know, but then how
do you make a buck selling mp3's? Good question. Since I'm still a
budding accordionist (calendar age isn't a suitable criterion) I want
to see the notes for the music. Having an mp3 of a professional
musician playing the arrangement would make the pdf much more valuable
to me. With both of these items you have not only the "what" is to be
played, but what it should sound like when you master it.

So, as a means to get many of your arrangements (pdf files) purchased,
including the mp3's with the pdf's would be my desire...er,
suggestion. That is, the mp3's would be an incentive for buying the
arrangement via pdf download. In any case, good luck with your
endeavor. <<Bill Ritter>>

•••••• they will be....haven't finalized the marketing approach yet
but it will be purchaser friendly

I know, but then how

••••• @ .99 cents there is hardly any profit for the time recording,
but, I feel mp3 will promote more arrangement sales as it won't break
the bank to listen @ .99 cents. (chuckle)

••••• good, already in the marketing plan and it will be revealed when
the mp3 catalog is ready

That is, the mp3's would be an incentive for buying the
