good day's work
it seems like this works. hopefully more bands will follow too bad I didn't really like the 9 songs which were for free. they might be good for background music, but in the end way to calm for me...
Metalcore/Melodic-Death ftw
Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks
With the internet, bands can market, and do everything themselves. Especially once they have established a name for themselves. And they have total control of it all.

This could be a watershed moment. At first, only well known bands will likely do it. Once it picks up momentum, there will probably be a couple sites where artists can go to flaunt their product. A music market, if you will.
I think Valve has done this with Steam. At first, it was a sub-par service that only catered to their products. Now, look at the steam it's picking up (ha! punny!). The musician who launches the musical equivalent of Steam could stand to make a fortune....
........and probably become corrupt as the labels they're replacing

I was impressed with this, and $5 for this cd in FLAC is definately worth it to me.
They should've been doing this since atleast 2004!
What shold i download FLAC og LAME?
I assume FLAC -> MP3 conversion is no problem, and FLAC is higher quality than LAME, so FLAC is the better choise, or not?
it, I got FLAC!

FLAC is losless compression and can be converted back to .wav so it is always the better choice seeing that you can convert it to mp3 afterwards
LAME is an .mp3 codec. It is considered the best at producing variable bitrate files that sound like the originals but take much less space.
FLAC is lossless like WAV, but more efficient in size. It is most commonly used as a "master copy" format for storage. I have used FLAC in Winamp, with the disk writer plug-in to write all of the songs to the HDD in WAV. I then run them through Exact Audio Copy, with the LAME 3.97 codec to produce 200-270kbps mp3 files. The sound is indistinguishable from the FLAC, but unlike FLAC the mp3s will play on my Zen at work
