Members Meriphew Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 I think the best way for an independent artist is to use www.tunecore.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Oliver Chesler Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 Yes as of today Tunecore is your best bet. Keep in mind you will need to drive people to your music for sale on iTunes. Want to see an album on iTunes put up by Tunecore? Here you go:A great album. See what I just did above? That kind of constant promotion (nagging!) is what you need to do. .0001% of people will click and 1/10000 of them will buy a song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the recluse Posted October 27, 2007 Members Share Posted October 27, 2007 We got our stuff in iTunes via CDBABY. When you are putting releases in their catalog, there is an option for using them for digital distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members joel Oporto Posted October 28, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2007 So does that mean you don't directly deal with itunes/istore, but rather go through an apple-approved "label" like CD Baby or tunecore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
