I'm new around these parts (as a poster that is), so please be gentle with me.

LOL.

Erm... Yup...

It's out now by the way.

Weeeeeeee!

you can you get in hardcopy? I don't like buying digital tracks.

Not at the moment. Due to my radical decision of going 100% independant (well, if you exclude Payloadz and Paypal) it's digital only for the time being.

I do plan to re-issue on CD in the new year sometime but I can't give any dates at the moment. I'm still in discussions over reproduction and distribution. There's also a feint glimmer of a chance that I might license it to a larger record company too but we'll have to wait and see on that one.

I may do a Cafe Press stylee release soon but it will only be a burn on demand job and not what I would call a "proper" CD. The other downsides to that being that it will be expensive and I won't make anything from it.

ugh, don't do cafepress m8.

By Choice I wouldn't but there are some people that just want real world product and at the moment that's the only way I can deliver it. It would only be a temporary fix and purely on demand only. It would suck if you bought a crapola Cafe Press CD and then I released a proper one the week after at 2/3 the price!

Saying that, I might as well home burn (or find someone else to do it) for those that have to have solids.

I have a record label, and I'm working on the store, it's hard to start a pay-pal store, when you're not actually 18.

I dunno though, I dunno.

Nice.

Get your parents to set up the paypal and payloadz stuff. The best bit is knowing that you're not being ripped off by a major firm. Admittedly you won't sell anywhere near as much (unless you seriously spend up on marketing) but you do get a warm fuzzy feeling!

I would generally advise against allowing people to buy one track at a time though. It can be a tad annoying when someone buys a track for 50p and you only see about 22p of it. Mind you, I like to allow single track purchases because some people might only want to buy one track and I like to give people what they want.

I just want to have a "buy now" button, that will send money into my paypal account, for the CD and shipping, I then ship the CD to them. I've seen pwebsites's do this all the time, but It seems to be a pain in the ass for me to set this up right.

It's pretty easy with Payloadz but the age thing obviously causes problems.
