Yeah I guess you are right... I suppose the best thing to do would be to
try and partner with e.g. MySpace (where a lot of small bands etc. live)
to promote Amarok in some way.... my mind isn't really working as to
*how* this would be done... Perhaps offer a CD production service
whereby small bands can have Amarok CD's created automatically from
their MySpace hosted music and have these produced and shipped on demand
when users click on a button on their MySpace account.

I've not really played with MySpace TBH so don't know if they already
offer a similar service....

Could be worth brainstorming around that idea tho'?
