ipollux: first, what are your thoughts?
I think it's great, though we're not quite at a point yet where it's a totally viable method for unknown artists.
One thing that I think we're going to see is that artists, like NIN, will be able to release more music of varying qualities and let the fans decide what's best. There are valid arguments both for and against this. Personally, I like the idea of artists just creating and releasing and letting listeners sift through it. Yes, that means the ratio of quality to crap will go down, but it also means that we'll be less likely to have undiscovered gems from artists.
