Members Sleeping_One Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 We went through tunecore. Haven't had any problems yet. They had it up is the amount of time they said they would, it's fairly cheap. We haven't yet received our first bank statement or whatever, but I'm not concerned with them ripping us off somehow or anything. I know a lot of people that have gone through them with no problem whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pjrake Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'm not concerned with them ripping us off somehow you have nothing to worry about. these guys are legit. i've been with them for about six months and couldn't be happier with their service. -PJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members voodoochild89 Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Right now I'm using indistr.com (see sig) just to sell a few digital downloads. However, I don't really think the site gets very much traffic. It all depends on how serious you are about selling your album I guess. I'm thinking about maybe promoting my band's online store by doing a promotional podcast or something so that people using iTunes can still find out about your band.

Members danosongs Posted July 31, 2008 Members Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just use CD Baby - I looked into this for months and found that they are the best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Steve Robinson Posted August 13, 2008 Members Share Posted August 13, 2008 CDBaby is a pretty painless way to do it. It takes a while to get in the system, but I've been well pleased by both the number of downloads -- from iTunes UK and & iTunes Australia/New Zealand especially --and the fact that CDBaby always pays you when you ask.The only downside to the iTunes thing is that sales are anonymous to the artist, so you've no idea who purchased your CDs/tracks. With hard copy sales from CDBaby, you get contact info, and you're able to thank those who buy your music.Steve R. http://www.steverobinsonmusic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Steve Robinson Posted August 18, 2008 Members Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yes. I really appreciate each and every sale I get. I always write a little personal note to thank them for the support. I usually also ask them where they heard my music, and of course, if they mind me adding them to my mailing list. http://cdbaby.com/cd/steverobinson2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought a bit of music from Cd Baby and to my surprise, I've had one artist/musician email and thank me for purchasing their music. He welcomed me to send a clip of my music, a mere amateur, I thought that was a nice touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members satchownz Posted August 19, 2008 Members Share Posted August 19, 2008 We are looking at CDbaby.com, it looks like the best deal and distribution for our level. I've heard itunes is a little more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Steve Robinson Posted August 22, 2008 Members Share Posted August 22, 2008 That's another nice thing about CDBaby; sign up with them and they'll add your album to iTunes for you. http://www.steverobinsonmusic.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members danosongs Posted August 22, 2008 Members Share Posted August 22, 2008 I use CD baby because I like the vibe there. By the way they got bought out by discmakers which I think is an awesome company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
