yeah cheers for all your thoughts on this guys. some very interesting stuff.
my conclusion is i'm going to try to go for this. even if it's only a few of my fave labels and more of our own product. the new site has the facility for it so why the hell not give it a go. if it's messes up, well it messes up - you live and learn. thanks for everyone who's replied via pm. i'm still building up that list of interested labels, so if you havent told me you're interested, please let me know!!!
now all i have to do is work my ass of and try to get this site up as quick as possible. then you really will see the potential ;)
