When it launches in a few weeks, eJamming will make it possible for musicians to rehearse together over the Internet.

eJamming: About time

I am a guitarist of 30 years. I actually envisioned such a web service for musicians a year ago from my hotel room on business travel.I think it is a great idea and one whose time has come. Though I do agree that optimal collaboration depends on visual connections, I can tell you that I have been in a number of bands where the members were spread out, even if only across a 50 mile radius, and would benefit from this type of service. In fact, I was supposed to have had band practice tonight but it was cancelled due to snow. If we were all members of this service, we might have practiced anyway. I also like the idea of being able to jam with other musicians.

If I couldn't have launched this myself, I am just glad someone is!

AudioFabric already has online music collaboration

If you are interested in this, you should check out Audio Fabric Desktop at www.audiofabric.com. This site has a software download that allows real-time online music collaboration over broadband. It works well and it's free! There's a paid version too that gives you more bandwidth, higher quality audio, etc. Check it out. . it works great as long as the musicians in the session are within a couple hundred miles of each other.

Our band has just finished its latest CD and instead of pressing it on a CD we released it on a flash drive direct

We were really stoked with the results and wondered if anyone else had anything to say about this new technology. It seems we cannot find enough fans at the gigs to buy a CD but lots were willing to shell out $15 bucks for a 1 GB Flash...has anyone else found this to work for them?

I read this Billboard.com release http://billboardpublicitywire.com/releases/flash/drive/prweb530039.htm
and it convinced me if the labels are dropping the CD perhaps this was the next thing...?
