[edit] Prod
Amie Street ranks in the 50k range on Alexa, has been covered by TechCrunch multiple times, and has links from other blogs as well as digg [1][2]. While the site is still growing, the notable area for this company is the demand based pricing model that is not present anywhere else in the music download market. It is an innovative and disruptive idea that deserves a mention in Wikipedia, if only to explain the model. I also believe the REC system is noteworthy--allowing users to get paid for finding good music before their peers, but this is yet to be seen popularly. PaulC/T+ 16:19, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Benefit media..
I'm not sure where this should go in the article, but on November 6, 2006 they introduced benefit media to the site.[3] Basically, there are four songs on the site where all proceeds from sales go to Free The Children. As such, these tracks are not included in the demand algorithm and are pegged at 50ยข a track. If someone wants to try to incorporate this into the main article somewhere I think it would be helpful.
