Just a friendly suggestion from someone who builds small businesses into big ones (i.e. I'm a venture capitalist) -- which I'm sure touchs on issues that you have already been thinking about.

Excellent! We appreciate the encouragement. Perhaps you might be able to help with the funding for such a multichannel project? I've done some quick figuring and I think that if we can sell out 200 album run of 1/2" three or four track at about $1000 per album we could make some money for our investors. We would need some new equipment and new packaging (for which I have a rough cost figure in mind that I would be willing to discuss by PM) and I think the rest of the production could be handled with our existing setup.

Doc etal:

Sure, happy to discuss business plans with you!  Also glad to assist in raising money for what is probably more of an "angel" situation (i.e  $10-100K's) than venture capital i.e. ($10-100M's).
