Not good for people trying to release an album, that's for sure! Mike-

Unless they are re-releases of older stuff they made with their label, it's 100% independent. It's probably just a CD Baby-related thing like you said. Ah well, it's not like I can't upgrade my tracks to iTunes Plus later. Happy new year by the way! :) > perhaps that’s the catalog that’s available as MP3’s

I'm not so well versed on that. I take it Beer & Coffee took a while to get on iTunes? I’m not so well versed on that.

Well as for Black Lab, I know that once upon a time they were on a "Major Label™" and perhaps that's the catalog that's available as MP3's. Still, I'm hoping <a HREF="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=zuwuVvoU8C8&offerid=78941&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253Fid%253D4260326%2526partnerId%253D30" TARGET="_blank" rel="nofollow">iTunes</A> will give <a HREF="http://cdbaby.com/cd/ebel4/from/matthewebel" TARGET="_blank" rel="nofollow">CD Baby</A> clients a bit more flexibility in their store.

Don't get me wrong, I like having a physical copy of the album. Here's the thing though: I don't have a credit card and my parents don't have one either, so buying stuff online is almost impossible for me. I have to buy iTunes Gift Cards online in the Apple Store (they also accept bank transfer as a payment option), gift them to myself and redeem the codes. It's kinda nuts, but it's the only way for me to download music legally. > as an indie artist I don’t yet have the > option of offering DRM-free tracks on iTunes Strange, I've seen some DRM-free Black Lab albums on iTunes. Maybe it's one of these things that they roll out in phases. I’m gonna have to stick with iTunes. Don’t get me wrong, I like having a physical copy of the album.

Strange, I’ve seen some DRM-free Black Lab albums on iTunes. Maybe it’s one of these things that they roll out in phases.

However, you can still get MP3's legitimately via <a HREF="http://cdbaby.com/cd/ebel4/from/matthewebel" TARGET="_blank" rel="nofollow">CD Baby</A> or <a HREF="http://myspace.com/matthewebelmusic" TARGET="_blank" rel="nofollow">MySpace</A>. Thanks! Pieter-

No, as an indie artist I don’t yet have the option of offering DRM-free tracks on iTunes (unless iTunes decides to change that). However, you can still get MP3′s legitimately via CD Baby or MySpace. Thanks!

It's not like I wouldn't buy your stuff otherwise but I'm a Linux user so I'm not able to play DRM'ed tracks unless I put them on my iPod or reboot into Windows. It's just one of these little conveniences, y'know. :) Do you plan on offering the album in the iTunes Plus format?
