Are you a singer or musician looking to record your work? You may have set up a MySpace page, but that won’t get you very far. You want to get yourself into iTunes, that’s all there is to it. How do you get into it though? If you need help with this, you make want to take a look at TuneCore.

TuneCore has arrangements with leading digital music retailers that let us place your music in their online stores and subscription services. You get 100% of the money that your music earns from digital distribution. Sign up now for digital distribution.

TuneCore charges $0.99 per track, $0.99 per store per album, and $19.98 per album per year storage and maintenance. Or, just put up one song as a single for a flat price of $9.99 per year, all stores included.

On average it takes about 4-6 weeks to go live on all stores. Some stores review faster than others with Amazon taking under a week, Napster and Emusic about a week or two, Rhapsody about 2-3 weeks and the same for GroupieTunes. So far we have been unable to determine the average time to go live in Lala.com and Shockhound as they are so new. Remember TuneCore does not have control over when your album goes live but these are averages based on long-term distribution relationships with each DSP (digital service provider).

Assuming the stuff you create is really, really good… you can make some serious bank this way. And of course, you could just get ‘discovered’ by a major label. If you’re looking to get your music out there digitally, this is probably your best bet.
