AMDAL friends and Dartmouth grads Chris O'C. and Julian K. have started what seems to be an awesome online music service called Your Digital Record. I'll let them speak on it here:
Musicians and music lovers, we're pleased to have the opportunity here on AMDAL to pass on word of the website we recently launched: www.yourdigitalrecord.com.
In short, YDR is a project aimed at giving artists and fans a platform for easily creating and sharing interactive digital albums. Ourselves musicians, we first cooked up the idea a couple years ago, when we were searching for a better way to experience music online, and found that the internet was devoid of a decent service for creating and sharing digital albums. We shook hands as business partners, raised a little capital, started designing the site in our spare time, and slowly unwound our friendship over the next two years as we managed the project. But we couldn't be happier with the finished product.
As we're currently in the midst of a campaign to build our content base, we STRONGLY urge any musicians reading this to check it out and upload your music (or contact us if you'd like us to upload your music for you). Note that YDR is strictly promotion and will not interfere with any prior sales/licensing agreements. See the clickable icon below for an example of the viral sharing YDR offers (all albums are portable, and can be dropped into emails, blogs, facebook, etc). We hope you enjoy the site, and please do ping us with any questions.

Editor's note: Be aware that if you click on the album below (and you'll be glad you did), you'll need to a) allow the player to pop-up and b) have headphones in beforehand if you're at Beutsche Dank or some other stuffy office.
