128kbs Mp3's for free

    Nice idea here from Irish DJ Donnacha Costello & his Looklong label.

    http://minimise.com/

    He gives away the 128kbs mp3's of his music free for personal use - but then asks you to purchase 320kbs versions from beatport. Obviously using 128kbs in a club is totally impractical - but this is a nice way of spreading your music about and also increasing sales.

    Lets hope we see more of this becoming the norm.

    Also I see he gave a guy on twitter a bollocking for posting links to pirate versions of his stuff.

    I love his rants when you see his music is being pirated, and rightly ****ing so, he's a great artist and a great dj....

    I dunno if its a great idea. Surely if you want people to listen to your music, you want it to be in the best possible quality? Although I guess not everyone is going to have the best playback system anyway so maybe its a moot point.

    IMO if a tune is good, it will sound good no matter what the quality (youtube is far less than 128kbs for example) - however if you want to get the best out of it and hear it as the artist intended, or DJ with it, you need 320kbs or so.

    128kbs is really nothing, Waste of time.
