You're obviously right Niteshift.


It is far better to pay to belong to IAC and hope that someone in the industry drops by, looks through all the independent artists there, and finds your work, then may or may not listen to it. In any event, you'll never know who was there, who listened, what they thought...but that's better right?


And dangling the free "bronze service" in front of you, then going for the upsell to paying for it because a free, two song, 8mb limit, and limits to usable templates, stations etc is nothing, well, that's OK right?


Maybe you should pay for the more premium Platinum or Gold service? Or the cheaper Silver service if you can't afford those? Oh wait, I see you do pay for one of those plans. Sounds like blatent "market segmentation" to me. But that's OK right? Just find how much someone can afford or are willing to pay and charge them that. Just make sure the introductory free stuff is very limiting. That's OK right?


That you are prepared to pay to "broadcast" to a wide, undefined audience, using a vehicle that makes you one of many choices that makes it almost impossible to stand out, but balk at paying to "narrowcast" your work to a specific audience for the specific purpose of getting through their door is beyond me. But hey, your money and your choice.
