Selling songs online - Suggestions?
« on: February 24, 2008, 05:08:01 PM »

CDs are dying. Downloading is the future.

I am trying to decide how to make songs available for paid download and I'm not sure what the best option is. The band in question has a .com website. Should I have them upgrade it to have the store in-house or should I point them toward a third party music download service? For now we don't expect huge volume of sales so something with lower fixed costs would be preferable. Although MySpace seems to be the "in" thing my experience with it was horrible so I want to avoid the site entirely. Suggestions are welcome.

iTunes
Kazaa
CDBaby
???????????

Thanks!

Snocap looks interesting. The only problem is its connection to MySpace.
