Tunecore
The Ultimate Home For Independent Musicians
This company has taken the music industry to a whole new level. This video gives a great explanation of the company, the service, the benefits and so much more. I like the concept of the Tunecore Community. A one stop shop for music protection, a service that helps a musician keep his music and the rights to it as well. Companies like Tunecore clearly show just how much the industry has changed over the last few years. And more importantly what direction it is going in!
It explains how the power has been taken from the major labels and record companies. Tunecore seems to be a "Diamond" in the rough as more and more musicians seek to remain independent. Tunecore does a great job of getting your music out to the public.Below are some of the major distributors Tunecore uses to "GET YOUR MUSIC OUT!"
iTunes
AmazonMP3
Spotify
Shazaam
Slacker
X Box Music
Google Play

***Another great benefit of being a part of the Tunecore Community is the actual tutoring and mentoring that most if not all musicians really really need. A good example is the video below that does an awesome job of explaining Copyright from A to Z! The video is a part of a series that teaches musicians how to sell their (already protected) music on a world-wide scale.
All royalties are yours to keep under this agreement. You as artist have much more control over your music when using a service like TuneCore. Of course I will suggest you protect your music well before you share it in any way shape or form. I'm sure you know as artist how important it is to Copyright your music. Yet take a few minutes and look at the video posted below ( or by clicking here Copyright 101). Understand more than just the basics learn all 6 of your legal rights as covered under Copyright. Guaranteed something to learn and benefit from.
