i asked because i am looking into starting a netlabel soonish, and i was curious about the interest for digital downloads of hard techno.

i personally have been unable to afford vinyl in quite some time, and have been buying a lot of digital tunes.

i find that it cuts out the filler tracks (i buy only the tunes on the eps that i like), and i can get a shit ton more music with 50 bucks than i could before (especially taking shipping out of the equation).

i still want to buy a few tunes here and there on vinyl, but the prices versus the money coming in just cannot justify too much money outlay for vinyl anymore (sad as i find that).

perhaps if the economy for those of us in the US who are not rich corporations actually got better this might change, but for the foreseeable future, i am enjoying sitting in my underwear buying tunes and having them in a few minutes.
