Last year Shania Twain sold more than 4 million discs. You might like a song or two from one of her albums on your CD duplication tape.

Phil Collins made quite a bit of money in 2004. Most of this cash was made on road in concerts but Phil has several older albums that have tracks worth having on your CD duplication mixed tape.

Linkin Park had three tours last year but no new CD. They do have a nice collection called Collision Course and several of those songs are worthy of CD duplication.

Simon and Garfunkel are still popular but as they reunited in U.S. last year they didn’t make quite money promoters had hoped. They did really well overseas and this duo’s music would be a great addition to a CD duplication project.

Van Halen didn’t do quite as well as expected but still brought in over $30 million. They did fairly well in catalogue sales and their music still speaks to music lovers today.

“American Soldier” by Toby Keith is a fantastic song from 2004. That song helped Keith rake in over $27 million last year and would be a great choice for a CD duplication track.

There you have top twelve music moneymaking artists for 2004. A CD duplication mix featuring these artists would be pretty cool!

When you use your CD copying software, you might want to copy history of other composers. Richard Wagner, for example was a composer who started a music movement. He is known for his work in area of opera and operas he composed have wonderful overtures. These are also known as preludes and are often played alone in concerts today.

If you use your CD burning equipment to make copies of information about composers you will not only know music but you will know composers, too.

Another very interesting composer was Felix Mendelssohn. He grew up with money and his family was prominent. Felix began composing early in his life with support of his parents. Mendelssohn wrote his music right from his head, no need for more than one draft. He was a composer who was famous before he died. Mendelssohn wrote many religious pieces of music and helped to make Bach’s music popular.

Now you are ready to use your CD burning software to make a nice mix of classical music and composers.
