one problem i see is that most people tend to
d/l the same things. for instance, take a look
on soulseek at most peoples' shared files and you're
probably likely to see things extracted from the
same narrow pool of interests with perhaps a few
unexpecteds.
i love music, i make music, blah blah
blah... but when it comes down to it, if something
has ONLY been released on mp3 i won't usually check
it out unless it's a friend or it's got some unusual
amount of hype attatched to it.
a couple of days ago i decided to go the other way
on this and check out some of the mp3 labels online,
and without naming names and setting aside issues
personal taste, it seems to me that there's a reason
this stuff hasn't been released.
i can enjoy something that is a little amateurish or
derivative in a live setting because in that
environment i can be engaged and reactive, but when
i'm just listening at home i'd rather listen to
something that's worth it's salt.
2cents,
