We can see a months worth of results of change of policy from simple free samples to streaming downloads of those same samples.
The big change is the reduction in sample downloads to just over 20% of the previous level while visitor levels appear to have leveled off somewhat.
It seems that we were correct in identifying unintended use of and interest in our short LoFi MP3 samples and our counter measures have been effective so far.
Naturally there has been no comment about our change of tack.
There was a technical problem uploading yesterday's blog so there are two today.
Just to complete the JS Bach Toccata set here is a LoFi streaming sample from No 2 - enjoy!
