1) sc volumes have no art because to me artwork is just a waste of money
2) people don't have to like all the tracks â the records are so much cheaper that they're getting a lot of tracks for 'free'
ok but, you can't look at it that way.
a lame analogy but i think the point is made is
if i, a shop sold a caburys chocolate bar that you as the consumer liked of 35g, for 45p, or a own brand value pack (i use this label because of the no frills nature of the sc volumes) of 50g for 50p. do you really think evey person first instinct is about the quantity of chocolate provided in the large bar makes that the best or even good purchase? or that the knowledge they'll enjoy the whole 100% of the more expensive bar makes that the one to go for?
i mean seriously the amount of free music about both legal and illegal on the internet, you think putting out (imo) random tunes fueled by a self interest and calling them 'free' because you're pay for the rest you might enjoy, is going cut it as marketing tool (on the same internet all this free stuff is on) then you've got a harsh lesson to learn, sorry.
your logic only works if the tunes 'liked' are available to purchase without the rest but the price is still the same, then yes they are some tunes seen to be as 'free'.
but they are not, so you know......
the only time i perceive tunes to be free are with tunes i actually like (and even then there's a logic/reason behind it ie. cd/digi tunes not on vinyl versions). never ones i don't, those are perceived as an acceptable expense. unfortunately you don't have that, and it looks like a percentage of the forum see this as a unacceptable expense at the current time.
learn from d-bridge, respond to your market, look how many sale he got after the attitude club post (can be seen by looking at the thread here and on dnba).
(though you have to ignore the whole never released digital thing
)interested to hear your thoughts on this, and apologizes if parts don't make sense
