Got introduced to Tunecore today. It seems you pay them a fee and they get your work onto amazon, iTunes and other download sites and you keep the money?
The price to get them to spread your work to sensible places seems quite modest. I'd discounted using iTunes because of the rather niche market my work sits in, and I sell downloads direct from my own site - but iTunes could be useful, and although I might sell a bit through them, the effort in submitting the music and managing the system vs the return made it a doubtful one. Same with amazon - I need people to be able to hear a clip before buying, and that doesn't work for me on amazon, as I can't link to my own server - and have to use an approved one.
Anyone using it - with any success?
