I just finished reading this off another board and wondered what all of you thought about this. Could this be damaging to record labels? Your thoughts/ideas would be interesting to read
also, they havent mentioned the percentage SNOCAP would receive so i guess once we know this we could give a better response but based on what is here what do all of you think?

Hey MySpace artists,
Music has always been at the heart of the MySpace community. As an artist, you have a place to connect directly with music lovers and build a fan base. Now, through our partnership with SNOCAP, you can sell digital downloads right on your MySpace page. This is something we’ve wanted to bring to you for a long time, and now it’s here!
It’s really simple. Just click the “Create Your MySpace Music Store” link on your Home page to register with SNOCAP (or click here), upload your music, and set your price. Your store will be automatically created on your MySpace profile right underneath the MySpace player, and a new “Manage Music Store” link will appear on your home page which lets you edit your songs or change the price. Once you’ve created your store your fans will be able to purchase your tracks right off your profile and even post your store on their own profiles, and you’ll get paid on a monthly basis. Click The Format
to check it out.
You don’t need to wait to have a CD’s worth of music to sell. Record something tonight and make it available immediately. Or upload a few tracks from the soundboard recording of your last show. A MySpace/SNOCAP MyStore puts the power of distribution in your hands. And best of all, it doesn’t limit any of your choices. You can still stream up to 4 tracks for free from the MySpace player on your page. You keep all the rights to your music. And this isn’t exclusive – you can put a MySpace/SNOCAP MyStore on your MySpace page and paste the store anywhere else on the web you use for promotion; plus you can also sell through an aggregator or any other digital retailer you have access to.
You already use MySpace to market & promote – now you can sell your songs! |

Wow, talk about market saturation.
I wonder where things will be in five more years or so. |

Pretty revolutionary, really, more so if it turns out to be sustainable. Now there is no barrier at all other than the winning over of fans for the artist who wants to make money off of individual tracks.
It strikes me as kind of inevitable, but still I wonder about the long-term effects and whether it will be the best thing for the music. |

I don't know about revolutionary, really - mp3.com did this years ago. And then they died. |

| Hmm, true. Why did they die, though? |

The artists started making more money than they could pay them, then they started accusing them of scamming the pay for play system (although the way the entire system worked was a secret so it wasn't even possible) and freezing people's accounts. Eventually the whole thing just collapsed under its own weight.
MySpace's system isn't entirely similar to mp3.com's but I just can't help but to see history repeating itself. I hope I'm wrong, though. |
