Jane Siberry has an interesting approach to distributing her music via the web called Self-Determined Transactions. Under this plan one has the choice of
1. No cost Guilty Free downloads
2. Self Determined (pay now)
3. Self Determined (pay later after listening)
4. Standard (.99 going rate)
right now the percentages of what people are paying since it went live in Jan is
Pricing Statistics
Accepting gift from Jane 19%
Paid by determining price 40%
Paying Later 41%
Of those paying
Avg Price Per Track $1.17
Paid Below Suggested 9%
Paid At Suggested 81%
Paid Above Suggested 12%
I actually think this is interesting way of letting people buy direct for an artist, especially as albums go out of print.

Interesting! I've always rather liked Jane Siberry and already own most of her albums, but maybe I'll use this to fill in some gaps. It's a shame she isn't more well known and appreciated here in the U.S.

She's got a new fan in me!
I'm checking out her music simply to support the model.
