Giving away the music for free and then relying on people liking it and giving money

thrash >> have a look at lemon jelly. their new album has been on the net for months ( uploaded by them too, which is always a nice touch ) . on release their album has crashed in at no 1 in the indee charts and 20 in the majors, so i thinks they have done well by handing out the musics on mp3. at the end of the day if someone's gonna download it they gonna buy it if they likes it that much , for the art work etc , the better sounding WAV cd version and of course for the love of the artist. the best idea is to give it for free and sell the proper versions from your own site :0) everyone benefits that way :) lookin forwards to hearing some of them chatlines widda beat :)
