Well, if a physical release is pressed, then it would also be up on iTunes and Amazon and the other places.
I guess the choice would be between sporadic releases of individual songs or one big release, all at once. Either way, they would be available for download.
I would be concerned that sporadic individual tracks would get lost in the shuffle, especially since Gene doesn't have an updated mailing list or any other way to communicate with fans that a new track is up. If he was on Twitter or something, maybe it would be effective, but he isn't and he probably never will be.
