Just got done watching the intro to Google Music, and they announced their new Artist Hub, basically a new place to sell your music. The important details are, you control how much your music is sold for. You keep 70% of the money, and the songs are given as 320 kbps MP3s. There is a one time $25 dollar set up fee. There are no per album fees or annual fees to keep your music hosted. When someone buys your music they can share one full listen with their friends, kind of a nice alternative to the short preview. But if someone is stuck with a preview, that isn’t as bad on Google Music as it is a 90 second or full listen preview (your choice). Anyway, worth a look. One key advantage is this is going to be positioned to be the easiest, most prominent way to buy music for Android devices, of which there have been 200 million activated. Once someone buys your music on Google it is stored on their cloud servers so you music is available to them immediately from any web browser or Android device (and I think iOS soon or now as well).

Something I myself could learn from. Learn to direct fans to content you control and when they get there, tell them what you would like to do, make it a focal point. My website as it stands is really a lesson in what not to do.
