Our partners at Diggietunes can put your music in stores such as iTunes, eMusic, Napster, AmazonMp3 and Rhapsody, they've created an opportunity for major and independent labels alike: the ability to sell your music to a large, diverse market, with little overhead costs. At around $1 per song, $10 per album, these services represent a great way to get your music distributed to the masses. However, as an independent artist, getting your music digitally distributed on the big services may seem like an impossible task –At Diggietunes they make it easy!
For every release, the charge is a 99 cent fee per store you choose to release to, including iTunes Japan, eMusic, and many others, aside from traditional United States iTunes distribution. There is a yearly maintenance fee of $19.98 per album, and 99 cents per song. For a 12-song album, that means roughly $69.95. in fees to distribute to the major players including administrative work.
Diggietunes also don't make any claim to your material, just distribute it. Diggietunes digital services offers UPC barcode generation with digital distribution, and can create artwork if you don't have cover art already made.
Getting Your Release Ready - Mastering & Artwork
As an independent artist, you'll need to make sure your release is up to commercial standards before releasing it digitally. By now, I'm sure you're familiar with the process of mastering -- evening out the dynamics and maximizing the volume of your recording. Make sure that, whether you're doing the mastering yourself or hiring an engineer to do it for you, that your final product sounds it's best. Remember, you'll be on an even playing field (well, almost) to the big, major-label acts when you're being digitally distributed, so make your release stand out as best you can.
You'll also need to make sure you have complete artwork to submit, along with the complete track credits. The major players won't post your music without artwork -- it doesn't have to be the best, but something catchy certainly helps! RicaShay Disc graphic design department can provide impressive graphics for your project.
