Introduction
to Online Music Distribution (OMD)
There are hundreds of music-related web sites on the Internet that will host your music. A majority of these will
let you create your own artist page, upload your music, and promote and sell your CDs. With enough time, you could
probably find 1000 places to sell, promote and distribute your music online. But, is that really what you want to do? Think about
it. Do you really want to invest time and effort necessary to manage and coordinate CD stock for 1000 web sites?
Is that the right approach to independent music distribution on the web?
No,
it's not. Though hundreds of web sites do exist that will host and to various degrees 'distribute' your music
(by that most mean nothing more than making your music available via a web page), there are only a few that really
make any impact on the market. Here,
we'll suggest to you the online
music distribution points
that are, in our view, the most important places to promote and sell your music online. We base our choices
on three factors.
First, which online distribution points are creating a buzz? That is, who has the attention of the press? Secondly, which web
sites are drawing
the most traffic
from visitors looking for new
music on the Internet? Finally,
which services are musicians talking about and
recommending
to one another? All of these factors have influenced our selections.
