CD and Download Store within Facebook
My Facebook musician page “Mike Shupp Music” now has its own CD and Download Store, enabling both downloads and CD purchases from right within Facebook. Courtesy of incredible music publishing platform Bandcamp, which powers the “Music + Downloads” section of
Bandcamp, the platform that powers the music sales for this website, recently added a shopping cart feature to their already streamlined checkout-flow. The cart lives conspicuously (which is a good thing) in the upper right hand corner of the page and smoothly updates itself without adding a single click to your checkout. It doesn’t require an account, and shows (for physical CDs) shipping costs right up front and in your currency. I love how Bandcamp focuses on just a few features, and does them each extremely well. And the killer feature for me, still, is having the ability to offer full CD fidelity, uncompressed, 16-bit / 44.1 kHz audio downloads (in addition to high quality MP3 320 and others) along with a PDF Liner Notes booklet. Give it a try…

Royalty Check: Streaming vs. Downloads
Some thoughts:
1) When you purchase a song or album (download, CD, vinyl) you're paying/licensing for all possible future listens #Spotify #AppleMusic

2) When you stream a song, you're paying/licensing for one (1) listen #Spotify #AppleMusic

In other words,
The purchase of a song or album (download, CD, vinyl) secures the licenses from the rights holders for you to listen to that song, or album, whenever you want, wherever you want, as many times as you want, for the rest of your life… and the royalties due those rights holders reflect those uses.
But a stream of a song needs only to secure licenses from the rights holders for one (1) listen by one listener… and the royalties due those rights holders for that stream reflect that use.
