Well after a lot of humming and hawing over this, I’ve made the decision to start selling my music, which means that I won’t be offering downloads of any new songs. From here on out, you will be able to use the Opus player on the left hand side of this page to listen to my music while you have this window open, but to download copies of the songs, you will have to purchase them from ProjectOpus.com.
Downloads are $1.00 each, of which I get 50 cents. You get an MP3 download; not a DRM-riddled other format that you have to worry about licensing with. They are also a Canadian company, so you don’t have to worry about currency conversion nor do you have to worry about supporting an American company if you’re against that. They also offer their artists the best compensation per download (artists who sell through iTunes, for example, usually see about 6-10 cents of the 99 that Apple charges per download).
To purchase my music, please go to: http://www.projectopus.com/justinsmith/music/ and select the song you want to purchase, and then click the “Get Hi-Fi Version” link.
I am also open to other suggestions, but as I’m starting to give more and more thought to pursuing a professional career in music, I’d like to show that I can be professional, even if that means charging people to hear my music.
