I realize this should be in another section, but here me out. I was curious if any local bands have thought about including there music on iTunes?!? From a marketing standpoint, bands might start making additional revenue from this. I'm gonna spend the weekend and due some research, but if it's a good way for bands to sell there music, I'm all for this!!! Something to think about (well, other then creating a website for the band thru MySpace, for instance). Anyhow, just a thought. It's all about the coin, ya know :). Eg. is Kincaide - The Landscape Versus avaliable on there?!? - Fri, 6 Oct 2006 1:28pm Edited: Fri, 6 Oct 2006 1:33pm

We've got our EP on iTunes (Dirtfella). We setup an account with CD Baby to sell it online. They offer an option for digital distribution, where you get setup with 40 or so online digital distributors (iTunes, Napster, and a bunch that I haven't heard of). - Fri, 6 Oct 2006 4:56pm

MySpace iwll be letting bands sell their music on there for whatever price they want and I think they'll get a bigger cut too.

Not sure when they'll roll that out, but that is the plan. - Wed, 11 Oct 2006 3:18pm

I have music on itunes and on beatport.

I have sold way more records through regular distribution than I have electronically, but it seems to be gaining ground
