Feel free to ask any detailed questions or offer any comments you may have with regard to the upcoming CD4. Rikk Desgres is at the helm from the technical side so this is the place to discuss our 4th CD which we hope to have under your tree this Christmas.

I'm excited and ready for the challenge. Let's get the tracks ready!

I'm pretty sure you outlined the details on the Facebook sister-page, but what is the deadline for submissions again?

We are going with the Nov 1 deadline, but that is tight to get things done and mailed. So there can be no extensions. The sooner people send me things the better.

I would say artwork deadline for preliminary design would have to be Oct 1.

Next week I will setup a way for everyone to get me materials.

I think Dropbox or YouSendIt.com (or similar web service) might be the best way to get me files. You can join Dropbox via this link: http://db.tt/yh6yZbN

If you have a track or artwork IM me and I will instruct you how to upload. - Next week sometime I will have a link to forms you can fill out with your info.

Dropbox is a fantastic service and provides the best file hosting on the web even for free users.

In addition to the above metioned, 'WeTransfer' is another good one. I don't believe a membership is required, and you can send files up to 2G.

Another great resource Mark. Thanks.

Please note that all contributors to the RRF CD4 will need to submit an Individual Property Rights Form. You can print off a copy from the image attached or contact the admin with an email address and a pdf will be sent to you.

I have a question regarding internet sales (iTunes etc). If I submit a song for RRF CD4, and I have the same song on my bands CD on iTunes, how does that work with the royalties for the iTunes sale? Is it 2 seperate download "accounts- RRF vs band" depending on where the customer found and bought the tune? The main clarification is I do not want to give up all rights to the song via download sales forever, only donate sales thru RRF CD4 sales. Chris.

Chris: You can certainly submit a song for the RRF CD4 that does not include itunes if that is you wish. We have plans to submit the tracks to itunes as well for those who agree with this option. Some people may want the download option through itunes rather than the CD. We are grateful for your submission and want you to be happy too.

Peter- Is the iTunes sale one complete compilation (all the songs in one sale), or can people buy the songs individually via iTunes? I would suggest you sell the iTunes as one complete compilation/download. That would keep it on par with the CD sale for funding, and eliminate any murkiness for bands that may have the same tune for sale via iTunes. Perhaps that is how it is planned anyways? I'm not sure from the previous discussions. Chris

The full "album only" downloads may be possible but not practical with digital distribution on site such as iTunes, amazon etc. But there is another way to do it is. We could sell the full album ONLY on RRF as a digital download of the full album. I have a solution in use with some of my albums set up this way.

Hi Rikk,

Can you post some instructions for our members so they can can post tunes to Dropbox in order for you to retrieve them.

Cheers,

Brian

I've got two tunes on the way!
