“Tunecore will charge just $31 a year in upfront fees to handle a 10-track CD from pressing to delivery, passing all other costs through to the buyer. In other words, the service promises to remove nearly all of the risks of short-run CD manufacturing, which can cost musicians hundreds or even thousands of dollars for discs that rarely sell enough to cover expenses.”

Connecting Evernote And DEVONthink With AppleScript
For Mac users, two of my favorite programs to help form the backbone of a “paperless life” are Evernote and DEVONthink — and these AppleScripts connect them together!
Over the years, I’ve discovered one thing that almost all of my clients have had in common: They have too much paper in their lives and they desperately want to get rid of as much of it as possible!
People are searching for a workable “Digital File Cabinet” solution. Paper, emails, items clipped from websites — these days, they all need to be in the same place when you look for them (and preferably with the same feeling of solidity that you get from sticking something in a drawer).
Going paperless certainly isn’t without its own pitfalls, but few things are more professionally satisfying to me than seeing a palpable look of relief on people’s faces as we shrink their clutter down to the size of a disk drive.
Right now for Mac users, two of my favorite programs to help tame piles of paper are Evernote and DEVONthink Pro.

Digging The Crate, Part Two
“Discovered: As Sampled by Daft Punk” compiles some of Daft Punk’s best samples into a pretty interesting collection!
You might remember a post from a couple of months ago about a compilation CD of Massive Attack’s sample sources being released. My friend DJ Orion sent out a link today to this clip:
Discovered: As Sampled by Daft Punk is another release by Rapster Records that contains the samples from the video (and more) — it’s kind of like having Daft Punk make you a mix tape of some of their favorite songs!
Here are a few tracks to enjoy until your copy arrives from Amazon!
Release The Beast (Breakwater)
I Love You More (George Duke)
