Submission + - Software for indie bands to sell mp3's directly?
jetsetsc writes: "I am not a programmer but I am a musician. My band's recordings belong to the band, and we'd like to skip the middlemen — labels, iTunes, Amazon, CDBaby, etc — and setup a way to sell mp3's cheaply directly to fans. I have searched quite a bit and found nothing that fits the bill. Snocap is sort of similar, but they are more about a central store with a MySpace tie in.
We don't need a fancy search, or a complicated "if you liked this try..." feature. I figure potential fans can find our webpage on their own, referred by Pandora, a music blog, internet radio, or even (gasp!) a print article. When they get there it'd be great if they could listen to samples, check off the songs they want, pay 39 cents or whatever through paypal, and get a secure non-transferrable download just like itunes. DRM not required.
I can't beleive in this day and age that a service or software package like this doesn't exist. Any ideas?
