      I'm checkin' some infos about selling your band's music on line. It looks that iTunes is the main one, while others are not available in Europe.
      I can't say much about it 'cause I even tried.  What do you think about it?

      But with either one, it will take at least two months before you see any loot. iTunes and Amazon take 6 to 8 weeks to report sales figures, apparently. With the new Malarians (the US garage band, not the Spanish ska band) reissues, I used Tunecore for IN THE COOL ROOM and CD Baby for KNOW/FINISHED IN THIS TOWN. The jury's out on which one is better, but with Tunecore, you get Amazon CD-on-Demand, where fans can get CDs of your mp3 album.

      If you want to do this, use TuneCore. They're great, relatively inexpensive, and they'll get your music on all of the main music retail sites. By the way, there's a topic about offering digital downloads on the Labels & Distros group, too (just an FYI).

      CD Baby is good for CDs. It has a program to get your albums onto iTunes, Amazon and other download services. When I joined a few years ago it only cost $30-$35 to get you set up. I just have one CD (recorded in the early 80s) and I've made dozens of dollars. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/terrell
