let's see. $239.88 annually for the chance to earn back $19.99 each month and hopefully more, while having to meet a 15 listens threshold per each 24-hour period. hmmm. 117,000 mp3 artists x $239.88 = 28.065950 Million.... hmmm. minus the 12.0 Million (for the 12 months of million pot) = 16.065960 Million for mp3. but wait...does mp3 ever pay out 1 Million a month? I think not. so I guess mp3.com makes only > 16 Million on Premium Artist Service. (without considering revenue generation from banner advertising.) ug. 2811317939 wrote:
