Sell Your Music on iTunes Music Store
Photo_Designer writes "CD Baby is now accepting music to be sold via digital distibution through iTunes Music Store, Listen.com and others. Their cut is 9 percent. The artists get 91 percent of the sale and retain all the rights to their music. There is a $40 fee for each album submitted. It will be interesting to see how much indie music gets on and how it does. Imagine being a touring indie band and be able to tell people to go to iTunes and buy your songs; it seems this could be a huge boon to musicians wanting to circumvent/boycott/avoid/destroy the RIAA." Note that this is not an agreement to get on iTMS or any other service, only for CD Baby to be your distributor. iTMS can still reject your sorry attempt at fame.
I can see the day when companies like McDonald's or Taco Bell start their own music labels. Walk in and get the latest and greatest boy band hit with a value meal prior to the "official release". Perhaps this is why McDonald's is pioneering wireless at their restaraunts?
Life is the leading cause of death in America.
Why is this article in the apple category? It does mention the iTMS along with other services, but it could just as easily fit under a music category or RIAA category. I have noticed this same odd categorization of articles with only slight relations to apple in the past few days. Slashdot is not macslash, so it doesn't have any significant apple slant, right? I don't have any strong opinions on the matter, the Apple category is as good as any other, I just find it an interesting Slashdot quirk; something worth pointing out.

WTF is up with that quote?
