Mart	After sleeping on the website idea, I shall delegate it over to one of the acts this weekend, so nice one and thanks guys. When you add it up, the "staff" numbers are about 70. One of them, will inevitably be siting on their arse all weekend and they can throw some of their time in.
DJKZ	Cheers Michael for that. I will investigate. I have just got used to Drupal now and yeah it's indexing issue is a bit annoying.

It costs next to nothing, you can use Drupal for content management and you can put adverts thus monetising your freebies. I recommend Wordpress over Drupa, which is very very clunky to get used to in the early days. I also had issues getting the pages indexed due to the way it generates "pages". I know there are work-arounds, but it's a nuisance unless you know what you're doing.
Mart	Cheers KZ. Re "Compilation Album". These , I forgot to add will be printed as small runs which will highlight the songs we think should be played to radio stations. I know for a fact, that when I plug stuff to stations, they really do not need a physical copy lurking around and I often walk back away with them after they have added them to their database. After the summer, there will be more major news on this project, which I cannot reveal quite yet. All will be revealed as to why there is no official dedicated website soon. (some readers may have worked this out!!lol)
DJKZ	Thanks Mart this is a fabulous idea and one which I can relate too but what i'm doing is a wee bit different in that I am interested in singers and developing them, funnelling them in-house. I do think that you should do physicals on an on demand basis and you could do this via your website for those people who must have something to hold on to. What I do strongly believe in now is the importance of an album. It could be a compilation album serialised but you need to do this. Instead of releasing actual digital singles, you make radio or promotional singles with vinyl or CD-R just to "officially" have a single but as far as digital is concerned this is released on iTunes with the album so when people look for the single they are faced with the album and may go on to buy more tracks. You need your own website mate and this is more important if you want to brand a label identity. It costs next to nothing, you can use Drupal for content management and you can put adverts thus monetising your freebies.
