As a musician and former gamer, I think this is a great idea and interesting discussion about pricing and business models. Have you thought about a commission/share model? I don't know the real market, but I think most musicians won't think about the games industry as a business, so you have probably less competition there. On the other hand, lately I've seen more and more indie games, so demand seems to be growing.

With such a low price, I'll have my concerns with the lack of exclusivity. Maybe you could add a premium price to remove the audio from further selling?

Regards!

I have a custom audio service on the site as well which I recommend for people seeking exclusivity and the more traditional commission approach. The prices are still lower than most composers can offer, but they're obviously a good deal higher than what I can offer for the non exclusive library tracks.

I've also considered the buyout approach for the library, and it's something I may eventually include.
