Hey Guys, There's a better idea... I use CdBaby.com. An AWSOME, honest site and service for indie folks and unsigned musicians. Its also free.. I've made a few thousand bucks this past year from selling my stuff on there. They are SUPER connected with iTunes, MSN, Yahoo, AOHell, Napster and tons of other online distribution services. You simply register on their website, and send in your stuff [no review process, they take all kinds of music] as a cd or CD-R with "home-made" graphics, which is what i did. Sign an agreement that you are the rightfull owner and you're in. They have "instant in" to sites like iTunes [which normally takes 3-4 months to get "reviewed"] and about 30 other online stores. CdBaby.com has deals that bypass all that 'review" stuff that iTunes has. They also pay directly to your bank account. I get payouts aprox 2x a month. Once for "domestic" and once for "foreign" online sales [like iTunes Europe, etc] iTunes charges 99 cents and keeps something like 40 cents. 60 cents goes to CdBaby and they keep 9 cents for all the work and accounting they do. You get aprox 50 cents or half. So....When was the last time you did a record deal that paid you 50% ?? And it's non-exclusive, [you can still do MySpace or your own website like I do]. It's easy, honest and you send in your stuff to one place and they re-send it to like 30 different online stores ! Their website has all the info, and they have paid out a few million [yes million] so far in royalties.. http://www.CdBaby.com Many online stores require that you are "released". So when you send your cd to CdBaby, they stock a copy on their warehouse shelves, which "technically" is a phyisical copy [or a release] The artwork you give them is what winds up on iTunes, so get photoshop happy... lol. Any questions, let me know.... I generated tons income from my old catalog, and I'm now compiling a re-mix and "rare tracks" compilation for them.. Gee.. money motivates ... lol Good luck ! -Man Parrish --- In Logic_Cafe@yahoogroups.com, Andy Hardwake <andyhardwake@...> wrote: > > Hey Greg, > > I've done 3 or 4, will be glad to help offlist. > > Best, > > Andy > > -- > Andy Hardwake > Composer > <http://www.myspace.com/andyhardwake> > > On Apr 2, 2007, at 11:59 PM, GAmoore@... wrote: > > > Hey has anyone set up a MYSPACE site complete with a music player > > and the > > ability to sell download songs?
