Sorry to hear it didn't work out. I might just share two thoughts that occurred to me:

1. The site's tagline is "Sell your $h!t with Social Sales!" which I would think is kind of off-putting in the context of a vendor relationship

2. Your sales model appears to be in contrast to how supply and demand work. Your model is that as more buyers sign up, the per-unit price goes down. I understand your theory is this causes people to share it with their friends. But, people who are buying indie music not only don't want to screw the artist -- they're also not going to bother talking their friends into something just to save a nickel.

3. I think this would have made more sense for the artist if the price went up (slightly, like from $4 to $5) as sales went up, with the early people locking in their price.
