| Digital Online Store | | 09/2008 | After months of work, Mush Records is pleased to present the newest addition to our website, the digital online store. All Digital Releases are DRM free 320 kbps mp3 files in a self-extracting zipped file. Our releases are available as complete albums only. No individual song downloads are available. We believe this is the best way to experience the music we release. Digital Releases can be downloaded one time only using a link sent to you in your order conformation email. A zipped folder will be downloaded to your computer's default download location (often your desktop). After extracting, you will have a folder named with the release catalog number. Inside of that folder are the mp3s for the downloaded release with all of the metadata and artwork already embedded in the files. Just add the files to whatever program you are using to play mp3s. Full length albums will sell for $7, EPs will sell for $3, and our 7" singles will sell for $2. Check back often in the next few weeks as more titles will be made available. Mush Records is happy to announce a new wrinkle in our digital store. From now on, when you purchase any piece of vinyl from the Mush Records Online Store, you will receive an email containing a link good for a free one-time download of the title you purchased. That's right. No need to buy a USB turntable or cut up tracks anymore. No need to hook your table up to a CD burner. From now on, all vinyl titles will be packaged with free corresponding downloads. | |
