Angela, yes Radiohead also did that. Nine Inch Nails said they received more money from their fans than from the Music industry, so if every artists sells at a reasonable price and most of the profits go to the artist, I think many would be interested.
Thanks for sharing CGull. I just called my daughter as she is fan of nin. Very cool.
regards Zsuzsy
Thanks Zsuzsy, glad you liked it. Here is another free download from Coldplay. http://www.coldplay.com/song.html
Cheers:)
Awesome! I love them!
Thanks Evemurphy, glad they are doing this. Cheers.
This is the first time I've heard about bands giving away their music for free. I guess this will stop the illegal downloading of their songs. Downloading it can't be illegal when it's free to the public, right? :P
Hi Susan, the previous album, they gave away nine songs and sold the remaining 27 songs for $5 which still was a great deal. This is a greater deal even, but I think we should donate them for their efforts, not many artists can afford to give away their songs.
I agree. Being able to pay only what we can afford would be nice. CD's here in the Philippines are almost ridiculously overpriced. At 425-475 pesos, you shell out roughly two days worth of your salary for just one CD. I'd be willing to pay 250 pesos for a CD; at least that's just one day's salary (at minimum wage). :P
I agree Susan. The music industry is exploiting the artists, they charge high but give only a percentage to the artists, that is why Nine Inch Nails wants to promote their music on their own. They are happy selling the music directly.

Wow. Radiohead did this previously, but they let fans decide how much they wanted to pay. I wonder if this will catch on?
