selling music on Myspace, y or n?

Now that Myspace has partnered with a provider to make DL's available for sale on your MS page (and elsewhere), what do you think?

If you're in a band, will you make yours available?
If you're not, are you interested in buying DL's on Myspace?

Just curious.
feel free to respond here in our forum too;

I think that it is a good idea to sell online but I'm not sure I would do it on myspace.

I haven't seen what type of charges they have or the stipulations involved.

i wouldn't buy from myspace

their conversion process with the music files leaves a quality less than desirable. i'll stick to itunes

this is all being handled by a second party provider, none of it actually goes thru Myspace. The store will be accessible from your profile, but it's not actually going thru Myspace.

Whatever MP3s you upload (you choose the encoding rates and codecs), that's what will buyers will be downloading.
Where you encounter degradation of the files is when you stream songs on Myspace or Purevolume or anywhere like that. If someone is actually downloading it, it will be the same file that you uploaded to your account.
Fortunately the whole thing will be offsite from Myspace, otherwise I wouldn't give it a second thought.
