More and more offtopic: http://www.magnatunes.com/ Try before you buy (128kbps MP3 non-DRM), set your own price (from $5 upwards, $8 recommended), 50% of raw income (well, after the credit card fees, but apart from that it's raw) goes directly to the artist, download uncompressed as many times as you'd like when you've bought the CD. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
