A year and a half later, we're still on CDBABY, love their service, and also use TUNECORE.com. TuneCore is basically a broker that with a single album upload, sends your music to many different digital download sites at once, including iTunes in 5 markets, Rhapsody, Amazon mp3, Amazon On Demand, Napster, Lala, and many more all the time. At present, we are on 11 "non-itunes" stores, and in 5 iTunes markets, including US, UK/EU, Australia/NZ, Japan, and Canada.

The cool thing is that even if TuneCore expands its vendor availability, you still pay the same flat rate every year to renew. I believe we spent $40 to get Tim Ballard's "Easy Does It" going, which covers fees for your first year, and then we renew it every year for $19.99.

Going this road saved us a lot of time in re-submitting the same material to each different platform and then hanging around, praying that they'll choose to accept you. With TuneCore, they accept, that's it, and pay (sometimes tiny) royalties whenever someone even LISTENS to 30 seconds of your songs out there.

TuneCore also offers a free Excel spreadsheet of transactions on songs that customers not only bought, but also listened to every month, and for an extra fee, you can order detailed trending reports. We have not taken advantage of this service, as the free reports are enough for our business size.

We are not bound or paid by TuneCore in anyway; so know that we just love their service as dedicated partners in music.

Best regards,
Kathryn
