Yeah, I suppose, in a way, you have to draw a line somewhere & start looking at the future! Much respect for parting with all these tunes!

Do something like Nu Energy
First Sell a physical product. Wait a couple of weeks (but not too long) and release the buyable mp3s.
But then, add your twist to it, and release the mp3s for free (maybe 4-6 months later, unless it still sells well).
I personally will always buy an mp3 if I like it, since I tend to hate waiting, but at times I cant be arsed to buy a vinyl, when there's a chance it's unplayable/unrecordable, as I seem to have a bad lcuk with those :_(
Another point I like to take up, considering releasing stuff for free.
Is there any form of "Abandonware"? Some Game/Applications producers release their older games free of charge (Rockstar did it with GTA 1 and 2, and a fansite to Team 17's game share their Amiga games for free, with permission)
Abandonware = Software that seems to have been dropped by the original developers/distrubitor, or released for free by said parties

Slightly off topic, but related to the podcasts you're doing now.
The inclusion of the lines from there will be blood has solidified your spot as my favorite person in the history of humanity. Though you'd like to know.

lol Meph! I just couldn't help putting the milkshakes together, and when I did, I then had to play Sir-mix-a-lot. Sometimes it just has to be done. Glad you noticed - it was one of those things that made me laugh in the studio but I didn't know if anyone else would notice it!
