Tunecore? Has anyone here used it?

[afriquedeluxe]

Just wondering if anyone can share their experience with this service? For those that don't know what they do, http://www.tunecore.com they are a middle man service between an independent artist and itunes, so basically anyone can get their material on itunes.

Reason I ask, is I was thinking of dropping my instrumental album on there, so just looking around and seeing whether it is worth while.

I am a huge fan of Tunecore...

You need to put your project up there pronto. Read their FAQ. You will see they do a lot of you. Since you have an insrtumental album, you can also use them for ringtones. I am going through them for my album.

They don't just get you into iTunes... there is Amazon, Rhapsody and a bunch of others. I think Tunecore is the sh*t!

oo ringtones too? i didnt know about that. will look into it. good to get a heads up about their quality from an ill member.

When you submitted your album.... how long did it take to go live on iTunes? The fine print says like 6 to 8 weeks.

I am looking to go live asap but it looks like I might have to wait a while.

hmm good to hear all these good reviews, I was skeptical a few years ago when relic originally posted it.. i think it was when it first came out. or am i mistaken.

Brooklyn? Isn't that the bootleg capitol of the world? Last time I was there I got 5 DJ Clue CD's right off the corner at 5 a piece. They had movies out that wasn't even out yet...LOL.

But Isn't the whole internet just one big bootleg system anyway?

It should be called Bootlegnet.
