    Dirk,

    Having said that Dirk, I for one appreciate when you put new release
    samples up on your site. They have most definitely influenced by decision
    to buy (or not) on a number of occasions. I don't know if you see much of a
    difference on your end, but I believe it's a tremendous help for anyone not
    familiar with an artist and is debating whether or not to shell out the $$$
    for their album or 12".
