Lots of nice songs out there but not enough to buy a whole album. What are you supposed to do if youd like to make a CD with various songs? I mean spending 10-15 bucks on every cd just for 1 or 2 songs doesn’t make any sense. Any ideas?
What’s a CD? 🙂
(It sounds like you want to make a compilation CD, aka a mixtape. Correct if wrong.)
Single tracks are often purchasable in mp3 form.I don’t understand why they don’t just put the album on YouTube they will be making more money having their songs up there rather than selling overpriced CDs. All the non Jewish music is on YouTube ready to be downloaded so if it works for them why not for the Jewish songs?
YouTube is not a music sales platform, and I don’t think it offers downloads
of anything. You can make some amount of money on YouTube by allowing
YouTube to play ads on your content, but from what I hear, it’s not a lot
unless your view counts are very high. I don’t know if YouTube even has a
royalties system the way Spotify does (meaning artists are compensated
each time their music is played), and I’ve heard Spotify isn’t too profitable
for artists either.Can your car play music off a USB drive? That’s another option.
Spotify and Apple Music are both 15 dollars a month, so look at it like accessing all the music for the cost of 12 albums a year (although you don’t always get access to the newest albums right away).
You can create your own playlists (Spotify also allows you to access others’ playlists that aren’t private), which you can then navigate just as easily as a CD using your car’s controls.even if they do [offer individual song purchases] that would still add up to a large sum of money.
So?

You wrote, “I’m aware of advanced technology but i still like using a CD for driving which I can control from the car buttons easily and not have to be distracted looking at the phone to change a song.”
Sounded like you have the capability to play the music off your phone, but that you didn’t want to have to look at your phone while driving.The ways in which Jewish musicians can make money, and their potential audience numbers, are far more limited than those for non-Jewish musicians. What the latter does is not a basis for expectations of the former.
There are ways to listen to large amounts of Jewish music without great expense. They just can’t help you make a mixtape CD (which is also true for non-Jewish music).
(If you have the time, you could always audio-record the music you
want playing from a free source and then put that audio onto a CD,
though this might well result in quality reduction.)Maccebeats
