		<description>Great show Aji!

You should definitely do more shows like this.  It demonstrates the richness of the re-mix culture.  I had never been to the CC Remix site before  There is some incredible work on there.

Please highlight more things like this.</description>

		<description>Anji, I have a real problem with the way artists treat their album art. I downloaded all the albums and the supplied art is a postage stamp. Why is it that high-resolution art is never supplied? The artwork is created on a computer and could not possibly start out around 200 x 200 pixels, so why do they compress the hell out of it and reduce it to such a low resolution?

It&#039;s like they don&#039;t realise that once the music is in a media system, it becomes all about quality. Postage stamps are expected and relevant in illustrating the work on a website but you want to see something pleasing in iTunes, your iPod and Apple TV.

Another thing they don&#039;t realise is that the crappy artwork makes them look unprofessional. In comparison, works from net labels such as Alpine Chic and iD.EOLOGY come with thoughtfully formatted artwork, high-resolution, moderate compression which I actually have to downsize to my standard 1000 x 1000 pixels. The whole work is given respect, not just the music.

I think I must be unusual in my passion for the graphical component of music, and that&#039;s where my frustration comes from. I find it extremely difficult to convince any artist that the quality of their album art is important. The one I had the most success with was Chance (www.mynameischance.com). I got him to change from mixed resolutions not greater than 400 x 400 pixels to a standard 1000 x 1000, moderate compression.

I never doubt the quality of the music. It is what it is and I either like or dislike it based on my tastes, but I&#039;ve never found it to be amateurish As someone who has to package and organise the end result, the artwork factor is a neverending source of frustration.</description>

		<description>Went to download the supplemental albums and found there is a BitTorrent option. Great, only noone is seeding! This would be the perfect download option otherwise.</description>

		<description>Anji, your contest link is incorrect. It should be http://www.anjibee.com/cc-asia-band-cabaca-cd-contest/</description>
