I am helping my husband, composer Edward Marcus, work through a release of some of his chamber music with a label in New England. We have a choice of releasing it as a traditional CD with digital downloads available on Amazaon, etc., or simply releasing it in purely digital format. If we do digital only, we get digital download cards that we can sell or give away, which allows for the download of the entire album. The artwork online is pretty much the same as would be done for a physical CD, but you may need to be directed to a different page for more details on players, etc. I believe it would be available as mp3, wav, or lossless files, depending on your preferences.
1. How do you feel about the need for a physical CD? 2. How important to you is the the availability of a physical CD? 3. Do you prefer to simply download the tracks and works you are most interested in, and leave the rest? 4. Does the physical CD and packaging make a huge difference to you in whether you would listen to the music? Thanks for your help!
