Music Distribution

Hey guys! I have a question about my latest song I'm trying to release online.

I have a profile with reverbnation, and have one song distributing to iTunes, Amazon, etc. I'm uploading my latest song, and it says I have to pay $35, again. So for each song, I have to pay the amount, (i.e. 3 songs = $105/year)? That's a little steep in my opinion.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I've never used or heard of that site before, but according to their Digital Distribution page it's $35 per year so is it possible they're asking you for another $35 because it's now 2011, a 'new year'?

That is quite possible, but they also said that when I uploaded my last song, I would be charged that amount on the date I uploaded. That date was 9/11/10, so the payment shouldn't recur until then?

Also, do you have any other suggestions for other websites to distribute music?

Please read the forum descriptions carefully and post in the correct forum as this is the Mac Le forum- NOT The general forum - in which your post should be located.

Tunecore.com. Approximately $50 and $19 each subsequent year to have international digital distribution for an entire albumand and you pay no commissions. tune core can also get you on Amazon, which is a prerequisite for Pandora.

My apologies for posting to the wrong forum. I'm used to posting all my threads here, since I always use this forum.

I will check out tunecore. What if you upload, say, 1 song every 3 months? Do you get charged for each upload?

Thanks!

You could also consider CDbaby. I just released an album and through them it gets to iTunes, Amazon, etc. I think it's $35 an album. Here's the thing that I have recently learned....to be an artist and release a CD it's just pay pay pay.....all the money you would normally spend on gear ALL goes to releasing product! It's all part of it....but it IS worth it.
