Brotherhood of the Machine fan club offer

   Afraid not, Infocat, this is the pattern of plays on Bandcamp. I have about 12,000 plays there. There are analysis tools, and the conclusions are quite clear: a lot of users simply jump on and use it as a free radio station. Which is pretty sad.
"Expect too much", alas,no. If you look at the ratio of complete plays to album purchases, it's about 1 in 100. I have other friends on Bandcamp with about the same stats. Why sit through an album if you don't like it ? ;-)

I don't think I expect too much, I think you have come to a conclusion about how people behave on music download sites without actually having the figures in front of you. I find it amazing how anyone thinks the situation will continue like this.

	Perhaps he liked it well enough to listen to it all once, but not enough to listen to it again (and pay for it)? I think you expect too much...

	I've got to laugh, checked the stats on the website. Thanks ever so much for the person who went on today, played a 37 minute track all the way through (hence "presumably liked it") and then didn't buy anything. ;-) Well, I am officially a radio station, then. ;-) That's why the offer lasts one week. ;-) Edited by Davesax1965 - May 06 2016 at 11:10
