Ever since Artists and labels (mostly independent) first started getting their music online, there has been a never-ending search to find the best new business model to sell your music. It’s now become obvious that there is no “one” best way to do that. In fact with so much music so easily available to everyone, you have to use every possible “productive” means available. Otherwise, you’ll become another needle in a very large haystack.
However every now and then someone comes up with a new way to sell music, and this week that someone was the band “The Presidents of the United States of America” (PUSA). They have come out with a new iPhone application which allows you to stream their entire catalog and some extra demos stuff for a onetime charge of $2.99. The idea is that you buy the app, and then you have access to listening to not only their old songs, but anything new they decide to make available to you. Even demos and never released live recordings.
