Professionally distributed music for emerging bands
An interesting story came up on Ars Technica this morning talking about TuneCore, a service that offer to submit music to iTunes, eMusic, Amazon, and Rhapsody, among others at a price that is more than affordable for emerging bands.
TuneCore charges $19.98 a year to store an uploaded album from any artist. It charges an additional $0.99 per song on that album, along with a $0.99 charge for each music store that it submits to. All royalties and rights to the song with the artist.
