I ran across a Boston Herald article about a service for artists sending music to iTunes. The service is called TuneCore.
The folks at TuneCore will host your band’s music files online and make them available customers via iTunes. This just seems like a great service that is cheap enough to be affordable to independent artists.
The TuneCore website has this example for pricing of a 5 track album:
iTunes U.S. store | $0.99 |
iTunes Canada store | $0.99 |
iTunes Japan store | $0.99 |
Rhapsody service | $0.99 |
Five songs at $0.99 each | $4.95 |
First year’s maintenance | $19.98 |
GRAND TOTAL | $28.89 |
The TuneCore service just seems like a great way to get your music out to the world without having to spend that much money or worry about the technology involved.
