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, gregory __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
