Hi All,

Is there a site out there at the moment which will distribute music + sort out payments etc without taking a huge profit?

Cheers

www.tunecore.com. It is $8 a year per track, it will put your music in itunes music store and rhapsody, and you then keep 100% of the sales after that. By far, this is the greatest deal I have heard of, and you get placed right be side the big names in the same stores. It will also make you look bigger in promotions, if you tell people to get your music on itunes you look signed and established. Check it out.

error 404

remove the ./ from the end or the URL

remove the dot after the address.

Anyone can get on itunes...this is proof. It is by no means "bigger promotions".

Electronic dist is still only like 10% of sales, so really you'd be better off putting your work in stores.

Also, when you say you keep "100%" that isnt really true.

You get 100% of whats left, after Itunes takes its cut, which is pretty significant.

A couple of weeks ago - for the first time ever, the number one spot on the UK singles chart was held by a DOWNLOAD ONLY single....

its not that bad, considering itunes must be one of the most popular distributors of pay-for-mp3's. they pay you certain rates per album, depending on which outlet of itunes. It works out to around 30 cent for apple, 70 cent for you. which works out to 7 dollars an album, or 70 cent per track. Thing is...if you make it big and the album becomes a best seller, they can up the price but you still only get the same rate - 7 dollars. On the website, the analogy they draw to illustrate the same thing was that if itunes were selling your tunes for a penny, you would still get 7 dollars. Like they would EVER sell a digital file/bandwith for less then its costing them, barring of course price-competition with other distributers of the same product...but thats not the case here.

true... but also one which had a multi-million $ marketing campaign behind it, plus was comprised of two famous artists.
