Inverse, if like 7 more people buy your song you'll never have to worry about health care costs again. Godspeed!

Stop, you're killing me! Oh no wait--it's Mutual of Omaha that's killing me. Right after I posted that whining complaint about them, I got a letter in the mail saying that our premium has gone up 600 bucks a year--and I still can't go to the doctor when I'm sick!

You guys are awesome, thanks a lot...

you're Rick James, bitch!

We've been selling Third Monk product on iTunes for a while too as well as Rhapsody and many others. The accounting is finally coming down on a steady quarterly basis. Our distributor supplies music to over 30 mp3 selling platforms worldwide. Pretty cool. This is going to pick-up and with higher data transfer rates on the internet, we'll move past mp3 pretty quickly. Digital distribution is definitel the future!

If you go through CDBaby, you get a very large percentage of the asking price of the song, plus they sign you up for a ton of online music sources--Music Match, iTunes, Rhapsody, MusicNet, Napster, Weed, BuyMusic, EMEPE3, Etherstream, Music4Cents, Lindows, QTRnote, NetMusic, Viztas, LoudEye, and MSN Music. They sent my stuff to all those places.

There are surcharges for CDBaby--I think it's 35 bucks a disc, plus more for setup and bar codes--but like I said earlier, it seems well worth it to me.

Is there any quality control on these sites or is it just a big free for all?

The latter.

That's right--my hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars of investment in my home studio has finally paid off--because someone, somewhere has bought one of my songs on iTunes! If you think that digital distribution isn't the wave of the future, well, you're wrong--and I've got fifty-nine cents to prove it!...

Your mother just called, and said she wants her dollar back.

Did you read/did you have any thoughts on the digital distribution rights agreement? I did a quick google search to tell some buddies of mine about the CdBaby -> iTunes connection, but I found some article saying that iTunes's claims to your digital distribution were unfair (I think mainly in terms of duration). I don't know if iTunes changed their policy since that article was published, though. Any thoughts?

[rubykeeler]

So ... is CDBaby for digital stuff x-clusively, or will they do 7"s?
