Puretracks offers MP3 sales

Puretracks is claiming that they’re, well, in their words, “the first North American digital service provider to launch ‘a la carte’ MP3 music downloads.” What’s more, they’re from a lot of bands that I’ve actually heard of, though I suspect most are from smaller labels – you can see some of the list here. This is a great opportunity to show side by side sales stats of protected vs unprotected content sales, and it’ll be interesting to see how that data can be used to influence the labels.
