by TuneCore:
"TuneCore
is your gear to begin to play the game." - Chuck D
"With
G 'n R I would be onstage in front of 20,000 or 30,000 people
playing our songs, but at the same time I would have this
piece of work that I'm just dying to get out. [TuneCore] is
a way for me to get the music out there; there are zero people
between me, my music and the fans."
- Izzy Stradlin
"TuneCore
just could be the future. Looks like a clear road from me
to my listener." -Bill Medley

TuneCore.com,
the new music delivery and distribution service has changed
the 100-year-old rules and model of the music business. It
is a low, flat fee service that delivers anyone's music to
iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody and many other major download sites
while taking no rights and no revenue from the sale of the
music. TuneCore's fees are simply based upon the number songs
delivered and the number of digital retailers it will be delivered
to. With Nielsen SoundScan already reporting almost 200 million
digital units sold this year (and those are just the ones
they are counting), it is no wonder that artists are building
careers, selling significant volumes of music and generating
more revenue than most "signed" artists while keeping
their rights utilizing the new model created by TuneCore.
