I sell my own downloads on my website. I don't do Itunes and I never will. Itunes is very good for consumers but very bad for artists. I get emails from people all the time wanting to know if my music is on Itunes and I always tell them that the best place to get my music is on my website. I have never done CD baby or any of the middle man websites. It has never made much sense to me. Maybe it would work if I had a malty million dollar record deal, but arrangements like that don't work for Indi artists. This Google thing is very good for artists. At least it seems like that on first read. May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

There's a download store. There's a social component. Google's music cloud is free for up to 20,000 songs; and their 'Artist Hub' allows anyone to directly upload, manage, and sell music, without the need for a DIY middleman. Apple is limiting iTunes Match to 25,000 uploads - and making you pay for the privilege - Google is giving it to you for free. And, forcing Apple to revisit its strategy - tonight.
