Independent Musician : Music Sites & Distribution : MP3 Online Artist Promotion. A Resource for Indie Labels, Artists & Bands.
 
Below you will find a comprehesive list of MP3 hosting, streaming, and e-commerce music sites. They all accept original music by both underground & mainstream artists, and vary from the mega-corporate to garage operations. All are worthy of checking out. As with anything, before you sign up with any of these sites: ALWAYS, READ THE AGREEMENT!!! Most sites are straight up & fair-minded but, there are those few that will try to pull some shade. Now get to work & enjoy. If you find or operate a site that you think should be contained on this list, CONTACT THE RECORD INDUSTRY.
 



CD Baby
CD Baby is a great store for the indie, they accept CDR's (as long as they look good), report to SoundScan if you have a UPC, if you don't, you can still sell your product with them. The deal... send them 5 CDs at a time, set your price and they get $4 a CD, the musician gets the rest. There is a, one-time, $35 set-up fee
. Overall a very good service. CDBaby has been at it a while and have it down pretty good.

Featured Artist - MP3
 
   
 
Electro / Funk / Hip Hop
The maestros of DIY guerlla warfare pull from the history of funk/soul & sit next in line of the family lineage that began with Louis Jordon to P-Funk, Al Green, Prince, Digital Underground, PE to today's OutKast.
These DIY mavericks have toured with the Vans Warped Tour in 2003 & 2004, and were the featued showcase at Detroit's MC2: Motor City Music Conference @ Cobo Hall and Chicago's MOBFest
This crew is about to blow up.

Highly Recommended.
