In my opinion, this is the biggest problem regarding the money-making part of online sales. I myself often come out a store having bought cds I hadn't heard of before and found by luck while listening through the recently released stuff. Guess this happens to quite many people (am I wrong here?).
Especially those who aren't either fans or really into the electronic music scene will have trouble finding out about web-only releases. And, what's more important, they won't be hit by the (often unnerving, yet nonetheless effective) merchandising machinery.
Of course, all this might change in the future when new ways of distribution will have been established by routine. But I feel that might take a while ...
