Hi John,

I posted asking about recommendations of how to offer mainstream music
downloads from a client site in much the same way as
http://sib1.od2.com/common/framework11.aspx?shid=012B002E but never
found a suitable solution.

I spoke to the company behind OD2 and they basically wanted a 50,000
euro set-up fee then 10,000 euro's per month maintenance fee before you
even start selling anything.

Can I ask if yu had any more luck or are you not wanting to sell
mainstream music ?
