Bandcamp

A friend of mine recently put me on to bandcamp which is a publishing platform site that will host your music for free. It has good points and bad. It allows you to upload your own artwork, I did the painting and took the landscape photo and it went on without a hitch. It allows you to find out who is dowloading your music and it even has a facility for people to pay for your music. The downside is that it only uploads in ‘lossless’ formats such as wav files which can take quite a while to upload and bandcamp only allows 250 meg. It does not accept mp3′s which is the format that most people convert to after they have finished mastering in wav format, strangely bandcamp converts the wav file so that people who want to download  get it in mp3 format. I have loaded my track No More Lies onto bandcamp but in truth I can’t tell any difference in quality. Check it out and let me know.
