I see this as a great opportunity for people getting to know about the c64 music scene and that way find out that there are albums and those can be bought. Right now there are tons of people not being aware of what we're doing here, and when they find out sparks will light up, and that might end up in CDs being bought, for instance at c64audio

The most interesting pages became the free music and the free videos. That's what people want
