...some of you damn sure oughta be...

We (Magnatune) just got back from the MIDEM music trade show, where we

exhibited. The show was amazing for us -- we handed out over 3000

compilation disks (all 6 genres were popular), had a lot of interest in

the International classical press, had many music licensing inquiries

(hopefully some of them will come through) and created a lot of buzz (a

major label record exec was offended by the "we are not evil" slogan

and told us so, but otherwise response was extremely positive).



Some big items:



EMUSIC:

We negotiated a deal with www.emusic.com to have our music available on

their site to their subscribers. This should produce some revenue,

which I'll be splitting with you as always.



iTunes et all:

Our music will be distributed through several online stores including

iTunes, Rhapsody, the new Napster.com, and others. Again, this should

generate more sales revenue, which we'll be splitting with you.



Physical disks:

We're negotiating to create CDs-on-demand of all our catalog, so that

people can receive a perfect-quality CD in the postal mail of any of

our music. This is still several months away.



Licensemusic.com

This company, who was the inspiration behind our taking a strongly

pro-licensing stance at Magnatune, is interested in representing our

catalog through their site (we fill some significant genre holes in

their offerings). Again, this should generate licensing revenue that we

split with you.



January sales were up, to $10,184 (up from $6587 in December), thanks

mostly to major press in USA today, Sound on Sound Magazine, and Linux

Journal which also caused followup articles in France, Germany and

Denmark.



January web hits were up 50%, to 75,000 people (up from 51,000 in

December)

I uploaded some tunes last year and never heard back, so I can only assume they don't want me there.
