Since you most likely have low traffic/demand use bitpay and worry about your own setup when they hit the charts.

yes its definitly low traffic at the beginning, I hope for the band it changes.

i thought about bitpay and I probably use it, i dont even think that many people at all download a song for bitcoins its more a gag, you never know how important bitcoin might get.

I also came across the Site Changetip.com that allows to tip youtube videos in Bitcoins.

Maybe you know is it possible to install a tipping app on a website- in my case a bandwebsite??

I defintly will figure out more about changetip.com  i think it s a great idea for artists just didnt have the time yet.

With you just starting out and only being small right now bitpay seems like an obvious option for you. I really do like your idea though and this could be something that could grow into something big. Good luck!

If you just want to be tipped, you could post an address on your website and leave it at that. Otherwise, Bitpay is probably the way to go.

thanks

I will check out bittrack

the other thing the problem with bitpay is it only send s me a confirmation that payment was received but it doesnt take the customer to the downloadlink...

i figured how this is possible with paypal and vibenation - disadvantage with vibenation is you cant customize their skin to much, only change the color

I think you would be better off trying to get either iTunes, Pandora or Spotify to accept bitcoin. It is very expensive to run this kind of service and you will need to reach deals with many labels. Without a substantial initial investment you are almost certain to fail.

i figured it out

how the price if purchased an album using bitcoin,
more expensive or the same as buying with cash.
sometimes the price becomes more expensive if you buy products with bitcoin
