New mag?

David, I´d love to see a worthy successor of Wheels & Tracks! But the threshold to surpass W&T is very, very high. Bart told me W&T was only marginally profitable, probably because the number of ads were kept very low. I recently cancelled my subscription to one of the two leading mags, simple because there were too many ads and the articles were either rehashes of subjects found in W&T, very thin or simply plain wrong! And much of my craving for HMV´s is satisfied here.

I would like to know if there is any interest in foreign-language versions, e.g. French, German, Norwegian?

Forget about publishing in Dutch. There are a number of very good French magazines against which you will have to compete. I don't know about Germany or Norway.

If you are going to make it happen, I herewith promise to take a subscription!
