Clayton, I was thinking I’d email the links manually using a site like yousendit.com. In that case, the zip files would be stored on my hard drive, not on the net.

I recently added simple PayPal buttons to http://colortheory.com/me for physical CDs. I could always make another set of buttons for digital and fulfull orders by e-mailing links to zip files of mp3s, FLACs, etc. At this point, I’d probably go with Bandcamp first, but I don’t have time to mess with it right now. It ain’t broke… yet.

I wouldn’t recommend Easybe because of My experiences with them, as an affiliate not as a band using their musicstore program, at the moment visitors who click on my affiliate links are sent to: http://www.yoursiteurl.com, a problem I brought to Alfred’s attention back in Feb 2009. “Looks like something has messed up the settings last month”, he said. Looks like something is still messing up the settings and nothing has been done about it. Over the course of the next few weeks I shall purge my site of easybe affiliate links and recommendations and stop being an affiliate – I’m fed up with them.

Brian, one of the reasons you get asked about easybe so much is because you are one of only fourteen sites linked to from easybe’s opening page – apart from the fact that you’ve got one of their best indie music stores, it’s a good example.

It would be very possible to create a store that looks like yours but is run completely by PayPal I would do that if I were a band.

Hope you’re keeping well Brian

So if you try selling an album’s-worth of mp3′s in a big zip file, your customers won’t be able to download it. And forget FLAC.

I hacked a workaround to redirect the browser to a disk location but it’s entirely unsupported and Instinct seems to have no will to fix or support anything similar.

Bandcamp has worked pretty well for me so far. I wish their embeddable widget wasn’t a big ol’ redirect back to their site, though.
