RTP-area local music and culture

[Kevin Van Sant <kvansant AT pobox.com>]

After looking around for a way to enable downloadable music sales from
my website I came across this great Php program which can be installed
into a website to facilitate Mp3 Instant Download purchasing. 

I had been thinking about trying to set this up for a while,
in part because I know that services like iTunes and emusic are
becoming increasingly popular and many people, myself included,
actually prefer the downloadable Mp3s to buying an actual CD.   I
think that the instant gratification of a download also encourages
impulse buying more so than filling out an order knowing you have to
wait a few days or more to get the music.

For now I have put up only my actual CD's and they are available for
instant download as a whole album or only the tracks you want (just
like the other services) at $.99/track or a max of $10 per album.  But
at some point I'll probably add some live tracks and alt takes not on
the CDs.   If I had an instructional book the that could be handled
this way too.  It's really a well conceived and written program.

I invite you to check it out at:

I post this in part to promote my local jazz music to the group, (I'm
a long time CH, now Durham musician)  but also to hip you all to this
program which I think is very cool for independent musicians.
Personally, I'm excited about it being this possible, this is the
future of music distribution IMO, and also I think that more
independents would be well served going this route.
