In the end it seems it's all about distribution and promotion. If you
produce your recording you ultimately have to get it in shops. Without the
budget to promote your recording the sad truth is noboby cares. Check out
the $1 bins of used record shops and they're full of indie releases. I
suspect that even if you have a distributor you'll be lucky to recoup your
investment. Many releases sell in very lower numbers, even in the dozens.
How are you going to get back $2K on that? It seems one would be better of
giving the music away and selling t-shirts or merchandise. Pretty sad, but
true.
What I wonder about people with digital music is what happens when they
upgrade they're computer or their iPod? Or what about when it crashes? Or
when the tecnology shifts again. Or is music that disposable?
