Hey Bob - are you ever going to actually release this on a CD (Compact Disc)? Or is it going to remain a download-only album?
I don't bother with the d/l stuff - when I get a free ne (promo or when I buy someone's CD) it usually just gets deleted from my computer at some point. I've got an iPod Nano that is empty - I never use it. And new phone only has 2G of memory, have no plans to add a memory card for it, as I just don't need to use it that way.

You are a dying breed, Mike. It would be foolish to plan a strategy for pleasing folks like you (and me). There's just no profit in it.

ASCAP predicts the end of the CD within 5 years. Streaming has already replaced downloads, which replaced CDs.

Not sure where all the disruption will lead us, but I don't advise holding on to anything too tightly. By the end 2017, VR will be usurping all computing & communication platforms, so media will be delivered on something we haven't heard of yet.

Who knows if there will ever be an era where songwriters could make a living like what we saw in the last 50 years?
