Hello,
I was thinking last night after some folks had expressed an interest in buying a CD of my work (oh okay there was only two people..). I had an idea where I would offer 'pick and mix' CDs - the idea being that you pay £1 for the CD itself and say 50p per track that you want on the CD. So you could get 12 tracks for £7 (mathematical genius there).
I'm not saying that I'm going to do this (not enough tracks available yet) and of course if I did I have no artwork or anything so it would be a real homemade CD-R job but I wondered what you all thought of the idea in principle.
Any thoughts?

no actually its a good idea,i was merely pointing out that my tunes can be quite long.didnt mean to dishearten you at all,i say go for it.
why the f**k shouldnt you get something back
you may only sell one but who cares,its one more than you do if you dont try and aside from that it is actually a nice feeling when someone does buy some of your music.
good luck

yeah I guess I wouldn't sell hardly any, but I did think it must be a nice feeling just to sell one.vurt wrote:CypherOne wrote:so it's a crap idea then?vurt wrote:at 50p p per track id only get a quid for the music on each cd

Cyph
go for it I´d say.
I think the idea is great.
Maybe, if I send you a cd and maybe 4 of my songs, can you do a cd for me and I choose 4 of your tracks?
But ya know my songs are 1€ each so you gonna owe me a bit, but you can burn 5 songs and will be ok.
Well I´m talkin bu.....t here
definately I think this is one of the best ideas for marketing I heard in the last time.
Yes go for it.

I was trying to work out why you put the big gap (....) in the word 'but' and then I just got what you meant.Thanks for the feedback Stephan, I'll hang on to the idea until I have a few more tracks to sell...
