Myspace (http://www.myspace.com) develops currently a store of numerical downloading that will be known as MyStore(http://www.snocap.com/join/store/). The business accompanies with Snocap of distributor of music canvas based to create a characteristic that will leave bands sells their music by their site of Myspace. The users will be able to buy, download and play MP3s on any device as iPods and the Zune.

Despite the potential fantastic one of sales, some bands find the new one to bother technology. The artists of Myspace worry about the unknown profitable margin that will be loaded and the artistic problems implied in the distribution of a song at once.

"Myspace became a massive online network and a tool of viral marketing," said dan-o, the singer/author-composer one in the Tree of Phoenix of band of quickly promising Myspace of the City of New York (http://www.myspace.com/phoenixtree, http://www.pheonixtreetheband.com). "The capacity to sell tracks on our site will be a new unbelievable characteristic".

ITunes loads 99 hundred for every song but Myspace will allow the band to regulate the cost. The artists using Myspace can climb currently to four songs on their site that the users can listen free. Some bands allow the to the fans to download some sample tracks as MP3s. While some bands decided of not to offer this option, this Tree of Phoenix offers all their recordings as liberates to download, hoping to find again fans and sale CD. Considering the new option to load for every downloading, some bands fight with the choice between winning more of fans and win the income of their music.

"If you distribute a million free songs you can have a million fans, or you can sell 2,000 songs for 50 hundred and have just 2,000 fans," said Matt Thornton of the Motorhome of band (http://www.myspace.com/motorhome). While money did to enter every song would be serviable, Thornton says, "The load could dissuade fans, everyone should be able to hear it".

But Jake Notifies Eggs of band (http://www.myspace.com/roerock) thinks that MyStore will help musicians. "The local artist would think an occasion to put their music and sells outside it this is a good thing," it says. While Eggs already sell the music by the Baby of iTunes and CD, Notify says that, "the new avenue will take advantage the fans and the band. "

Another sector of worry is the problem of only distribution MP3s against CD of full length. A lot of online artists complain that selling tracks individually take feels it of their album. "The just sale a song sells just an idea," Thornton of Motorhome says. "I do not think personally that the this is enough. You have the brand people think about the entire thing and obtain implied them in him". It says that Pink Floyd is The Wall in an example of a concept album that would not be possible under the matters of MyStore models.

The bands also are worried as possessing in does CD will become desuets. Jason Larson Of The Porcelets (http://www.myspace.com/thepiggies) thinks that MP3 sales by Myspace will take purchase of CD of circulation. "The music himself is the art, but there is a lot more to him with the words and cools iconography (in the cover d'album)," it says. "And you obtain an a lot of better copy of poll of the songs" Larson adds also.

But even among the apprehension, most of artists of Myspace remain optimists. "Not everyone is in the music it same manner as the musicians are," Larson says. It says that the music community will keep the traditions of CD of living, while other circulations general listeners will have more arrangement to the songs than they want to buy. "You need something for everyone," it says.

Creative and promotional considerations nevertheless, matter arrangements put by MyStore always alarm to the musicians. Myspace did not leave the public knows that they will arrange the profit structure. Although Snocap the general Rusty director Rueff said Associated Press that they try to keep costs "as low as they are able," the bands are hesitating.

Dan-o of Tree of Phoenix says that the profitable margin will be the factor of problem key in the choice of the band to offer their songs to sell. "ITunes is very professional and uniform in this respect, and Myspace will need to be as direct" it says. The band obtains almost 70 hundred for the downloadings bought costing 99 hundred for the customers of iTunes note dan-o.

Although there are a lot of worries among the artists of Myspace, it seems that most of will add the music to the new service. "We did an album, spent a lot of monies and does not count to obtain it from return," Larson Of The Porcelets says. "But if we can obtain from the money to drive to the next spectacle, then that is what sells our songs is for".
