Awesome. Won't be long now and you can retire! :rolleyes:
I am a constant evolving music machine. Oh Man, I just forgot what I was playing. Oh well, on to the next song. :rolleyes:

ahh, nifty.... CDBaby just payed me my quarterly profit :D
Now I can pay my electric bill. :)

What I don't get is the 700 downloads of 'Escape from Metroid'.
It isn't even a complete song. (1:44)
Who the hell would wanna listen to that?

schmange (spelled right!), you are my hero, and I mean that. I hope some day I have to worry about if my royalty cheque will come in time for the electric bill. That's by far the coolest thing ever.
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

Every cent counts, mate... keep up the good works.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's that life is one crushing defeat after another until you just wish Flanders was dead.

Rock stars ... is there anything they don't know?

you get like $.02 per song downloaded? that's like 0.028985507246376811594202898550725% (I admit I used a calculator) damn... I'd make like $0.04 a month on that kinda income!

I guess it depends on what company is selling em..
iTunes is paying .65, but MusicNet only pays .02.
If it's a physical CD that gets sold I get about $10 through CDBaby but only $8 through BestBuy. If I sell em through my own site I get $13 for a CD and .69 to 1.99 for songs.
Whatever.... I'm happy... free beer money :D
