Some muzos are doing like that, as Charlie Chan is doing and some of
them are doing very well.
They are using PayPal because they are charging $0.99 and PayPal
is doing for them a great service.
IMHO Itunes will shrink sooner or later because unknown muzos will be
far better of setting up own selling points than go to ITunes, where
they have equal chances to be found but money reward is far greater on
own page plus you will have to clear picture what is happening with your
advertising. You are simply monitoring all your actions.
I know about the band with so if d/loads will be bigger (more money)
I'll be better organize more bandwidth because I need and because now I
can afford.
Setting all these services you have mentioned is initially expensive and
not many will go for it, if they not sure, they will have money back.
Web designers sooner or later will be asked for this kind of initial
setup and when things will go great for an artist, they will progress
and spend more money on their pages.
I know I'm one of first but there will be more, as soon as muzos will
realize that Itunes or other services are not very rewarding for them.
Setups like these will become very popular very soon.
Cheers....
