Digital Audio Insider is David Harrell's blog about the economics of music and other digital content. I write from
the perspective of a musican who has self-released four albums with the indie rock band the Layaways.

Coming Zune
by David HarrellComing Zune CD Baby, the online retailer that also provides digital distribution for self-released musicians, has begun delivering its catalog to the new Zune music store. (One of our albums was sent on 12/27.) I'll TRY to report back when the album becomes available there, but my initial attempt to install the Zoom softward was a disaster and I haven't had time to do the various updates that it will require...
"The Layaways make fine indie pop. Hushed vocals interweave with understated buzzing guitars. The whole LP is a revelation from the start." -- Lost Music
"Catchy Guided by Voices-like rockers who lay it on sweetly and sincerely, just like Lionel Richie." -- WRUV Radio
"These are songs that you want to take home with you, curl up with, hold them close -- and pray that they are still with you when you wake up." -- The Big Takeover
