but we've been pretty happy with Tuncore.

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
