I would like to receive feedback from established musicians who have recorded an album.

I would like to compile a sampler of 16-20 tracks, each track from a different musician/band. The artists that will be included on the sampler will be independents who have self-published and have no recording contract and who own all the rights to their original music.

The sampler will be marketed to a niche audience. A small number of physical CDs will be manufactured for baby boomers who aren't into "digital" downloads.

So the questions I have for all musicians who wish to respond:

1) What terms would you agree to to be included on such a sampler?

2) What would be a reasonable royalty payment for use of a single track? Digital download and CD?

3) How large (if any) of an upfront licensing fee would you charge for allowing your track to be included in this collection/sampler?

Thank you for any feedback.
