Very interesting. I wasn't aware of that option. I like that better than Soundcloud. I may ask you for more info on that when we have something to

release.

Sure. It's about as easy as it gets when it comes to distribution. There's other options like CDBaby - oblique May 22, 08:16 9
- What is the royalty arrangement with itunes and amazon? What percentage goes to you? -- nm - pmb May 22, 08:27 8
  - So we have to pay 0.09 per licensed copy for CDs and digital distribution to the author. Nothing to do with Tunecore. On Tunecore we get 0.70 cents - oblique May 22, 08:34 7
    - Interesting. I thought the artists got a higher percentage from amazon and itunes that that. No wonder artists can't make any money selling music - pmb May 22, 08:41 5
      - Remember, that's *royalty* from us to the artist for the cover. As an original artist, you'd be getting the 0.70 from 0.99 via Tunecore from iTunes - oblique May 22, 08:42 4
        
        Sorry, when you said 0.70 cents I thought you meant less than a penny, but apparently you mean 70 cents. That makes more sense (and cents). -- nm - pmb May 22, 08:49 3
        
        Ah. No, it's Spotify/streaming that really is kinda crappy. 1/10th of a penny usually per song. I'm sure it adds up when you're getting - oblique May 22, 08:51 2
        
        Actually I think it's even less than that and it doesn't really add up. Last year's most streamed song (Avicci "Wake Me Up") was streamed 128 million - pmb May 22, 09:05 1
        
        I think you're right. I had my decimals mixed up! :) -- nm - oblique May 22, 09:06
    - Oh, and I should not that if you're doing covers and only distributing on Spotify you don't have to pay the 0.09 royalty to the artist - oblique May 22, 08:35
