I'd agree with going this route. If you were doing live gigs, then you could fork over some money to reproduce physical copies of your album, just so you have something to sell at shows. But if you're not doing live gigs, that's more reason to stick to digital release (and invest that money towards something else like production or promotion). The music industry has completely changed - CDs are dead, and digital music is in. iTunes killed the CD store. It's more about convenience now - instantly downloading music to iPods, iPhones, iWhatevers. It's also more convenient for you as an artist because your tracks can be bought 24/7 from whatever location (as opposed to selling CDs at a certain time/place).

Members David Abraham Posted October 19, 2012 Members Share Posted October 19, 2012 If you have a good live show CD sales will sell way better than digital in most cases. The future though, is that everyone downloads the album on the spot using their smartphones. Currently more likely on iPhone than Android. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
