iTunes credit towards the rest of the album

Today, Apple introduced the "Complete My Album" feature Thursday on its iTunes Store. It now gives a full credit of 99 cents for every track the user previously purchased and applies it toward the purchase of the complete album.

For instance, most albums on iTunes cost $9.99 so a customer who already bought three tracks can download the rest of the album for $7.02.

So, if you've ever bought any tracks from my CDs on iTunes, but not the whole CD, and you would like to get the rest of the CD, Apple will honor this retroactively up to 90 days from now, for any purchases you made within the past four years (since iTunes first was
launched).

Here are all my links to my iTunes albums:

Solomon Keal's Music Newsletter, March 2007

Hello everybody!

Welcome to the March edition of my music newsletter.

My latest solo piano album, "Peace of Heaven," can be purchased from a number of locations:

1. Directly from me for as little as $11.00
2. From Amazon Marketplace for as little as $13.00
3. From CD Baby for $15.00
4. From FountainPublishing.com for $15.00
5. From the New Church Bookstore for $15.00
6. From iTunes for $9.99

I spent a good portion of this last month working on a really fun studio project. Nowadays it's pretty easy to find the soundtrack to a current movie. But there are many movies from not-that-long-ago that don't have soundtracks which you can purchase. Someone recently hired
me to create a soundtrack from an older movie. Using my digital audio sequencing software I was able to cut out dialogue and create a pretty fun soundtrack, edited straight from the movie!

My Sibelius notation software has arrived. Soon I will be learning how to use it, and then I will start to create sheet music, both of my own compositions and for my local church's new song book.

My wife and I had fun performing at the "Caring For Marriage Conference" in Bryn Athyn in February.
