Mike Shupp Music Store in Facebook
My Facebook musician page Mike Shupp Music now features its own CD and Download Store, enabling both downloads and CD purchases from right within Facebook. Courtesy of music publishing platform Bandcamp, which also powers the “Music + Downloads” section of this site (as I previously blogged about), the seamless in-page checkout flow, including shopping cart if desired, is really beautiful… and if you prefer a physical CD purchase (as I often do), it still includes immediate digital download of the whole album, while you wait for your CD shipment. Best of all, the digital downloads are available in full CD fidelity 16-bit/44.1kHz formats ALAC (best for iTunes) or FLAC, as well as high quality MP3 320, or just about any other format you could possibly desire. And a PDF Liner Notes booklet is even included with full album purchase downloads — you could choose ALAC or FLAC download format, burn to recordable disc, print out the liner notes, and you’ve got the full audio quality CD, immediately.
