All you have to do is visit my Bandcamp page at richpalmer.bandcamp.com. I do ask that you submit your email address to validate the download. I will not sell, tear, spindle, mutilate, slice, dice, mix, mash or make hundreds of julienne fries out of your email address for any other reason than to add you to my notification list. And don’t expect a bunch of spam from me unless I’m singing Monty Python songs. (Spam, spam, spam, spam wonderful spam, wonderful spam.) I don’t like spam email and am pretty sure you don’t like it, either.

And… if you choose to donate anything toward the album, that is great, too. Anything donated will go toward my new album project of pop/rock style songs.

Innovative mobile application helps users navigate through their home computer’s music library wirelessly and bid for 1.5 million MP3 songs.

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 11, 2009 — Didiom, an award-winning mobile media service provider, today announced the expansion of its public beta-test to Windows Mobile® phones with high-resolution VGA touchscreens, such as the HTC Touch Pro™, as well as the BlackBerry® Pearl™ 8100 Series. Users of these increasingly popular phones can now use Didiom’s free mobile service to access their home computer’s iTunes® library remotely and buy over 1.5 million high-quality MP3 songs whilst on the go. Throughout the beta period, Didiom is implementing a cash bonus program to reward prepaid users who purchase MP3 songs. The cash bonus program pays up to 35% bonus towards music downloads.

“Didiom brings together what belongs together — placeshifting and over-the-air purchasing. Our goal is to meet the growing demand for placeshifting, and push interactive experiences beyond the handset itself with a minimal burden on the user,” said Ran Assaf, Didiom’s founder and CEO. “Now that smartphones represent almost twenty percent of all handsets sold to consumers in the United States, we have a great opportunity to move beyond early adopters and reach new audiences.”

“As consumers seek to access media on their own terms, placeshifting is becoming the norm,” said Anton Denissov, Digital Media Analyst at Parks Associates, a market research firm specializing in emerging consumer technology products and services. “With growing consumer demand and the prevalence of mobile broadband networks, now is the right time to introduce mobile placeshifting solutions. By acting now, while the market is still shaping, providers will have access to the broadest range of partners, and opportunity to refine their offerings to give consumers an optimal experience.”

In addition to streaming music from computers to phones over wireless networks, the free, all-in-one Didiom application features new ways to interact with music. By implementing an adaptive bargaining technology, Didiom allows users to name their own price for MP3 songs and download them to their phone and PC. Didiom’s integrated music-sharing tool enables users to share previews with friends, both mobile-to-mobile and via e-mail. Additionally, with Artist Alerts, Didiom users are notified as soon as a new release from their favorite artists becomes available in the Didiom MP3 store.

Didiom has also announced that it has signed a licensing deal with EPM, a digital aggregator representing hundreds of records labels. Under the agreement, Didiom will allow its users to download high-quality, DRM-free music from legendary rock, blues and jazz artists and bands, as well as from bestselling dance labels from around the world. “We are excited to be working with Didiom. Their platform is at the forefront of the digital age, and we are glad to be able to provide our labels and artists access to their service,” said Oliver Way, EPM’s co-founder.

Amazon has given me a new option for sharing my kid songs CD. Yay! You can share it, too!

I just checked some account balances to make sure that I have what I need to meet expenses. I greatly appreciate seeing new deposits that have recently been placed into my account from CD Baby. Thanks, CD Baby!

My music buying friends rock!

And… thanks to all of you that have purchased my children’s CD or the download mp3s from the various online retailers that are offering them (thanks again CD Baby).

Your music buying friends rock, too!

Bring a friend? I’m sure you know people with children in their lives! This CD would be a great gift from aunts & uncles, grandparents, neighbors, friends… ANYbody that knows some kids!

If you have a few moments, would you please take the “music buying habits” survey that I’ve compiled? It would sure help me as I determine the next step for this next album.

Recording continues and I look forward to announcing pre-orders of the album “Future Retrospect” very soon!
