I think if you had a hot ass girl operating it while you were performing, would prob. get more peeps to check it out. It works from what I tried, I was unsure at first on with the whole email setup, but figured it out. Not bad, something I can see bands eventually using.

The interface is pretty easy to use, there is no menu bar in the software though, but I think that is done to keep everything in full screen if you were to bring it to a show and use. I used it on a PC at it works. I am not sure if this would work on a mac, unless running windows in mac. I thought setting up the email be confusing (that's how it sends the file to the fan who bought it at the show), but it's like setting up email in outlook. I tested it out and I acted as if I was a fan purchasing it and the 3 files sent to my email, opened them and right into my itunes. But you have to go to the menu choice, 'send fan requests' first. But, there is option called 'email at the show,' which I guess if you are connected online, you could send right at the show. You can select which mp3 files you want to give away for free, which seems good if you want people to sign up more. I play live acoustically, I am going to bring this at my next gig and see the response, plus I don't have a cd out, so at least people could get something. WIth my laptops screen, i can see people coming up to this and being curious...like...whoa... what is that. It's def. interesting if bands have laptops it couldn't hurt bringin it to a gig. My only thing was at first I didn't know you have to know the 'keystrokes' to authorize a sale, which was CTRL and press Enter. The instructions page is detailed at least and I figured it out quickly. It never crashed, unlike my friggin cubase. I actually just downloaded it – this software has some cool things about it.
