What are people saying?
Thousands of artists and labels have been putting their music up for digital sale quickly and easily with TuneCore.
"At last a fair and honest way for musicians to distribute music. TuneCore's web site makes the service a pleasure to use, it's easy to understand and allows the user to do everything themselves. Any difficulties are dealt with immediately by a dedicated support team. I've been promoting TuneCore to every musician and band I meet, the hardest part of the sell is that people think it's too good to be true, well it's not, it's true and it's good!"
—Roger O'Donnell, of The Cure
"A little personal attention goes a long way in this day and age, especially in this business! Rock on! I'll be talking about how awesome you guys are."
—Jim Hodgson, of www.jimhodgson.com
"You guys were as passionate about my music as I am! It's amazing to think that only a few years ago, it was pretty much impossible for an unsigned artist to have their music available to people worldwide. TuneCore is really user-friendly, their accounting is easy to figure out, and most importantly, the staff there is approachable. Another nice note—I don't have to chase them down to get paid!"
—Meiko
"After recently parting ways with Capitol Records, we found TuneCore a simple and amazing way to independently get our new album straight back to all our waiting fans worldwide via iTunes. Not only did TuneCore deliver it on time, but they also agreed to give us 100% of the money we earn and, if that wasn't enough, all I had to do was upload the album to TuneCore from my bedroom in Auckland, New Zealand. Friends welcome to the future!"
—Brad Carter, of Steriogram
"My album went live on iTunes in three weeks! I didn't know what to expect from TuneCore in terms of getting the music to the online retailers, but I was pleasantly surprised at the speed of the process. I submitted my album on the TuneCore site around April 23rd and my music showed up on iTunes in around 3 weeks! It also has been posted on Rhapsody as well...Thanks for the quick response!"
—Ken Mitchell, of The Flavor Foundation
"I was offered a record deal with R and S RECORDS last month. R and S is the famous Belgian label that brought the world classic techno tracks like Jaydee's "Plastic Dreams," Joey Beltram's "Energy Flash" and the first Aphex Twin single.
"As flattered as I was by their interest in my music, after reading the contract's legalese, I could not bring myself to sign with them. It's a painful decision to decline such a prestigious label, but I am learning that all record deals are the same. You sell your soul and your work to them and they never benefit the artist unless you sell at least a million records. Period. The kind of music I make is never going to sell those kind of numbers, so in the end you become an indentured slave to your contract. The worst part of all is having to relinquish the control of your masters. My songs are like my children and I could never sell away their rights to any one label. So, I guess I will remain in electronica obscurity, as I told them thanks, but no thanks and declined the deal.
"At least I have my music available on iTunes where I might be able to sell a few albums and I get the highest percentage of profit possible off of the sales. Thank you Apple and TuneCore!"
—Victor Stapf of Synthetrix
"Hi, I just wanted to say how impressed I was with TuneCore. I sent my music in 3/30 and it’s up on itunes 5/9, that's 40 days. I worked with [another service] on my last release. I sent it in 12/7/05 and it's still not up on iTunes. You guys rule. Thanks."
—Nelson Heise, of The Heise Bros.
