The Digital Lowdown - Digital Only Releases: Pros and Cons
"When does your CD come out?"
by Steven Corn (BFM Digital), 
More often than not, a typical response from an artist is that they are planning a digital only release and then they'll see how it goes. The decision to press CDs is usually postponed until it is determined if the album sells online or not. Practically every week, there is another digital-only label popping up while all the pundits proclaim the impending death of the CD-format.
If you are looking for a high quality solution to transforming your MIDI files into stunning audio tracks, you've got to take a look at REAPER.
