There's a new download/streaming site now up called Aurovine. It's been put together by
some UK guys. It works along the same lines as Bandcamp, your album or track gets streamed
in full at 128kbps, and people can buy downloads of it in 320kbps format, or a FLAC or
even a wav. Bands can customise their own page to some degree, and they get a subdomain
URL.
My only connection with it is that I volunteered to help beta-test it
with my band (I did slightly know of the guy running it, he runs a small label and a prog
festival). The beta-test went fine, it all seems to be working, and it was officially
launched last night.
If you don't like streaming sites like Bandcamp then you
won't like it. If you do, it's worth considering. (And only time will tell what it does to
our sales.)
The site is
here.
[Mods: Move this to Music Business forum if you
think that's the place for it.]
