The MUSIC is almost here!

[DigitalJay]

I've been busting booty to get my favorite tracks really polished and sounding good, so I can release them.

Since I have no decent payment method for mp3s, and physical copies are better to have anyway, I decided to use cafepress to offer the music on audio cds, with royalty-free license included. Unfortunately, they are having some major issues with their mp3 upload feature, so i'm delayed until they can get it sorted out. Hopefully within the next week.

Then, i'll be debuting the site, and the first album. My artist name is Sounds Like Sex, and the first album is An Introduction To Sex. Kinda cute eh? I think so. Plus i'm releasing an underscore cd with long, subtle tracks for use in scenes called Long and Uncut :p

Anyway, it's been taking a while because of said cafepress issues, the extra time it took to design the cd booklets & tray inserts, and making sure my songs were 100% polished so people get the quality they deserve. I'm right on the edge of it now though, and extremely optimistic about achieving some success as an independent artist. Hopefully cafepress will hurry up and get their shit fixed!

Thanks to everyone who has helped me, given advice, suggestions, reviews, etc. I really, really appreciate it! With a lot of advertising, and luck, maybe this will fund one of those ventures i've been babbling about for so long.

Sounds good

For the payment method, id suggest Paypal as long as your site isnt 'obviously' adult orientated. If it is, then id run with Epassporte.

You might also like to check out somewhere such as ClickBank or 2Checkout

PayPal is out, cuz my domain has sex in it. As far as the others, I have no bank account or debit card at the moment, so they are all out. If I manage to sell any of the cd's though, that is #2 on my list (after some fuckin glasses) Thanks for the suggestions, I definately appreciate it. The only reason I was able to get a premium account through cafepress is because i've sold a few of my gay designs through them, so I had a positive balance. Luckily, they send checks. The base price per cd is $9, which is insane, but they come in a nice jewel case and I get to design the booklet and the tray insert, plus they are extremely high quality cds.

I'm recording the mp3's at a really high bitrate, so the music WILL be cd quality.

Thanks again everyone for your kind words and continued support. Still no news from CP, i'm getting very annoyed. They have awesome customer service and quality control, but they are slow as hell to fix their site and upgrade.

Argh! Now CafePress says their mp3 upload feature is fucked indefinately. If anything ever went smoothly for me, I think I would have to wonder if I really wanted it to happen in the first place. At least jumping hurdles let's me know I really want the reward.

Back to the drawing board...

Why not build your order page on a site without a "sex" word in the domain and process it that way with Paypal? Just have the page come in thru frame or Iframe onto the actual site.
