What.cd continues to show the decrepit recording industry how to promote music in the BitTorrent era. The site just released The What CD Volume 2, a compilation album of some of the artists that are featured there. (Bands, song writers, and so forth are encouraged to submit their material to the site—they’re added to a special subsection called the Vanity House, which is promoted differently than otherwise commercially released music.) It’s a 20-song album, and comes in at just around 1.4 hours long. A quick first listen while doing a million other things suggests that it’s a better album than the first volume, which was released during the summer.
To those of you on the site, make sure you grab it. The rest of you, well, make friends with someone on the site ;-)
Uhm … thanks for the fish.
Want to be my friend, Nicholas?
Please be my friend…
How are they showing the recording industry how to promote music if I can’t get that great compilation you hyped up because I don’t have a friend that can get me into the site?
Anthony makes a good point. If this were about promoting the artists there would be a very accessible way to get the compilation, and good information on all of the artists. This feels more like a way to promote the exclusivity of what.cd more than anything else. The last one made it to public trackers fast enough, so I’m sure anyone that want to hear this will be able to do so soon enough.
I got 1 more what.cd invite left. MSN me with good reason why you deserve one. dvs15_2003 (at) hotmail
