for an average download per streaming instance of around 13-17%. basically for every time my music was streamed, 13-17% of the time there was also a download, or somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 out of 100 people (1 out of 7) liked what they heard enough to keep it, and that's pretty khoul in my book. the site doesn't keep track of the number of IP addresses it streams the music to or i could figure out precisely how many different USERS listened to and/or saved the music. this is as close as i can get with the tracking statistics available on the site.
i'll close this post with a sincere
THANK YOU to everyone who listened to my music, and another sincere
THANK YOU to everyone who shared it with others on their own. wonder how many copies of my tunes are floating around out there....have to take a look on the P2P networks.....if i find anything out there, i'll post what i find!
THANKS AGAIN everyone :)
