DJKZ	Their pricing is not unreasonable. In fact it is quite good. it is just all the other bits that come with it that makes it completely pointless. Nowadays there is no need to host your own music files. Youtube could do that and furthermore you link directly to iTunes for higher quality.
Grand Finale	The only reasonable solution is to set up your own website with details/photos of the acts and direct links to itunes so that fans can preview/buy the downloads. No need to pay unreasonable monthly rates. Gig dates and other usual suspects go on the acts' myspace sites. This will not cure all the sins of the digital universe, but I cannot see any other way forward as we go to press.

As I said in my previous post, looks like everyone and their Gran seems to be jumping on the "lets exploit the music industry" wagon at the moment...
