ok.... the coding for the sales cart is getting there. The worldpay account is all working on TEST mode ok, and there's just a few more things to do to the cart to get it all ready for switch-on....

so - comps - perhaps you guys would like to put some together?

we'd need to make some sort of on-line contracts which can be d/loaded for the people involved, that's easy enuff.

waddya think? - different genre's - etc - we can promote them via some flash banners on the site frontpage, and the site comes in at listing return number 3 to 5 in google out of 8,000,000,000 pages if you search google for 'dance music' so.... why not!... you never know!

sorry it took so long, but i had the 'disk upgrade' stuff all done 4 or 5 weeks ago then realised after a chat with Worldpay that we'd have to go thru a whole re-application for setting up a second 'sales-page' for the CD's - so i re-coded all the sales section so it can handle multiple inputs for different sales tasks.... but it's almost there now.

hell yes!

We already have some some compilations, enough for two CDs if my memory serves me right... not the most recent stuff though, more like 1-2 years old...

but it's gotta be proper tho this time. I've got some grime being sorted out for a uk urban comp, i thought mebbe the signalrunners guys could sort out a commercial trance album or 2 (mebbe one ambient trance & one '2am trance').

trouble is the flipping US Dollar isnt worth a toss now, if we use dollars for selling 'em it's kinda standard for global sales, but it's going to look expensive for yanks if we set a price that equates to a decent price in Euro's/Sterling to cover expenses and return some decent percentage to artists - it's almost 2 bucks to a pound now.

Mebbe we'll have to also setup a EURO selection for sales, but then people will see 'US dollars' and they might think "Oh, if i pay in US dollars I'll get it cheaper after conversion"

damn it ! - see we thought mebbe a tenner for an album, but that equates to 20 USD almost... which seems alot for a CD comp of unsigned music... but that way we can take off a few of quid to cover the sales-system charges & expenses, and split the remaining between the artists.

anyways, we'll need a decent selection of a few genre's.

I meant I have nothing to contribute except my ears and my good wishes for a project like that.

Well we did get a long way through a compilation, but towards the end it kinda fizzled out for one reason or another.

WOuldn't take too much work to resurrect it tho.

well... to be honest... I stopped visiting the planning threads for the comp when it became clear that there were wonderful ideas and people to put them together, but no realistic approach to how it would get funded. I'm not knocking any of the guys who put real time and energy into the effort, they're to be commended, but I just didn't see it getting to the "fruit" stage without a comprehensive and clear money plan! A double CD is expensive, and there were way too many tracks chosen for the $100 each 10 people had said they'd donate, we all know that you're doing well when half the people in a crew follow through with a promise!

Today, most of those tracks are too old for most of the artists to be able to support them.

K... are you talking about a deal on printing and distribution? Cause, well, that would remove the primary stumbling block (as I see it)... there were a lot of smart people who were happy to contribute time, energy and talent... if that's what's needed, then I think it's still very "do-able"

cheers...

dude, relax.... dont think so big, this isnt Warners - it's a cottage industry

so... you dont have to press in advance, you can burn to order - the master files can be uploaded to our spare servers, we can archive masters for comps and people can upload new versions etc.

couldnt we do it like that mebbe? - I can get a london urban/garage comp together, i was hoping mebbe the SR boys could organise a roster for a 'club-trance' comp, i'll look into some local crusty techno shit, etc... who here does drum&bass & breaks etc?... a house comp or 2 would be good too... Anyone can be on these cd's if youre helping put a comp together & you know someone you want on it who doesnt use the site, it's no big deal.... they just have to add the one track to the site so it can be added into the online mp3 example cd comp which they can stream all at once.

it'd be really cool to do a band comp too for guitar bands.

anyways, start small, mebbe it'll build, who knows, it's no big deal... but i dunno, IF they sold a few at least you can show they sell, mebbe get some cash then to push it further... bit by bit thing

what do you think?

well the euro's thing.. yes... we can add EURO'S as an option for another fee with Worldpay, I dunno wether to. Thing is, if we put EURO option, then people will probably just pay in US Dollars anyways as it'd probably be cheaper cos the dollar is so weak right now.

I'm not tense, hehehe

This sounds far more practical than printing up CD's and trying to sell them after the fact.

You've addressed the concerns I had about the original comp... I'm down.
