HI all. I've reviewed and compared the various alternatives as
suggested and decided
to go with www.tunecore.com because i feel that i can have more
control over my songs and their publications. Thanks to all who have
contributed. Cheers!

Hey Bill,
CdBaby lets you set the initial price and will pay you if you exceed their
initial price. However, royalties are a bit of a laugh right now. When someone
streams something on Apple Music or Spotify, you might get one cent per stream
from Apple Music or so. It's better to get them all out onto all of the
streaming services.

Thanks for this useful discussion. Regardless of the service one would use to
get one's music up on the streaming sites, is there provision made for the
artist/songwriter to earn any money as a result? Have any of the list members
here had any experience with receiving compensation for their work from, say,
Apple Music or Spotify?

Hi,
These companies like distro kid or cd baby, or tunecore, are called music
aggregators.
I will use Tunecore and they place your music with over 100 music sites around
the world.
I think with Spotify you have to go through an aggregator. You can't post it
directly yourself.
Ross.

Hi all. I am thinking of putting up an original song on spotify. If anybody
has had experience on doing just such a venture, please help advice and giving
me suggestions as to the steps needed to start it up. I of course would like
some financial gain from the venture, if it is at all possible, but if I get
noticed, at least it will be a step in the right direction. Thank you and
cheers!
