Will JANPress try to publish and distribute accordion
literature via the Internet exclusively?
YES! We feel the power of the Internet
to reach millions of people globally in an instant is the best medium within
which to launch the publishing company of the future. This is especially
helpful with the distribution of accordion literature, because as you know
many mainstream publishers have not been willing to "take a chance" on
accordion literature since it did not spell instant profits for them. Using
older printing technologies too was a drawback since they had to print
many hundreds or thousands of copies of a particular work in order to save
on printing costs, hoping that they would quickly be able to sell off this
stockpile of prints. JANPress on the other hand can let people shop
on-line (seeing at least the first page of a work), then satisfy customer
orders by printing copies "on demand" at the time a particular piece is
requested. The resulting benefits then are a more immediate accessibility
and a much larger distribution channel than if these pieces were to be
printed and published via conventional publishing techniques.

Can I download pieces listed in your catalog directly
on-line?
No, but you can at least see the
first page of each piece on-line and download it as a GIF file if you so
choose. Most Windows-based browsers will support you doing a right mouse
click on the image. You will then be prompted with a selection which includes
"View this image ('name'.GIF)". If you click on that selection,
the entire image will be displayed alone on the page, at which point you
can simply print it from your browser. This provides the user with the
ability to quickly try out a little of the composition or arrangement before
actually committing to purchase the piece.

How can I submit my own pieces to JANPress for
publication?
It's actually quite easy and explained
in detail on our Get Published link above.
Any one of our web pages (including this one) has a selection menu at the
bottom that contains the "Submissions" link. Just click on it and you will
be there.

Will JANPress eventually be putting streaming audio
clips of the piece listed in the catalog?
It is our goal to do so.
However, we are searching for a viable ISP that will allow the inclusion
of Real Audio, MP3, and other formats on their servers. Not all of
them do and our current ISP does not allow storage of those file types
on their servers. As soon as we do find a compatible ISP that will
allow these files, we hope to put our entire catalog in audio format.
We believe it is much easier to shop for music and understand what you
are buying when you can get immediate aural feedback on some of the music
pages the customer is viewing on our site.
