That's interesting. I happen to be a fan of Niamh Parsons. Her Myspace site has 84 complete tracks! (click All Songs and A-Z and you'll see them listed) - most every song she's recorded I guess. I still have most of her CDs and would quickly buy a new one - I would rather have the physical thing and the higher quality of a CD over a mp3. Yet it's pretty neat to be able to listen to her songs as I work at my computer. Sometimes, however, I hear a new artist that I might be interested in, but when I look at the web site there are not even any 30 sec. sound bites. That doesn't encourage me to take a chance and order a CD. I admire the generosity of artists who are willing to share their music, and I will often return that generosity by buying a CD. Cheers, S. in Seattle
