After seeing the recent introduction of iTunes for MAC users (primarily) as
a means to download hundreds, if not thousands, of MP3s at a nominal fee
following in the footsteps of other subscriber services such as EMusic I
have been contemplating launching a similar site for those of us not tied to
the major label system (even iTunes has restricted what labels it will and
won't deal with....indies are forced to team up with e-commerce distributors
such as CDBaby).
We'd be offering competitive rates to the acts (set royalty rates for master
use licenses and mechanical royalties) and a low per-download/per-song fee
for users (i.e. under $0.99). It would also be open to all acts...not just
those affiliated to labels.
I'd be interested in hearing feedback from music acts and MP3 downloaders as
to what they'd like to see/not see in a service such as this.
