Now for those that are wondering what TuneCore is then read my post “Getting Your Music Released – Tunecore Vs CD Baby”
So what’s this “On Demand” all about then, well to put it simply, TuneCore now has he option to have Amazon.com produce a physical copy of your album when it is needed, so you don’t have to have a mass of CDs produced, when someone orders a physical copy from Amazon.com a CD is manufactured and dispatched, yes it’s that simple.
How much does it cost, well that’s the great thing, just select the option of Amazon on Demand when you select which stores you would like your music delivered to and then just select the type of template you would like for the release, don’t worry your cover art is used for the release, so try to match the template to the colours of your cover art.
Then you have to select your pricing for the On Demand release which you can chose from t lowest value which is $8.98 (you receive $3.59) to the highest value $19.98 (you receive $7.99), then just wait for the release to go live and that’s all there is to it.
I have just used this for the Remergence release of Probably [Single] , so hopefully this should be available soon at Amazon.com using the On Demand..
So it’s a case of time will tell to see how this works

After watching Ashes to Ashes on the BBC last night and been a fan of the previous show Life on Mars, I thought I would post about what decade people preferred. Ok I know it’s a short post but what the heck, I’m just nosey
A lot of people usually say the 80s for their love of music, but what do you prefer the 70s or 80s?

Ok to follow on from one of my previous posts about CDBaby vs Tunecore, there is now another road that unsigned artists and Indie music lables can take and it WaTunes.com.
As quoted in the WaTunes blog from CEO Kevin Rivers :
We’ve went from being free to be charged, to giving 90% of sales, to giving back all the sales earnings. We’ve finally can say that we have raise the bar even higher by providing you guys an ABSOLUTE digital distribution service. As of now, WaTunes will enable it’s customers to continue to sell unlimited music, earn 100% of the royalties, and more, ALL FOR FREE! There are no fees, cancellations, no gimmicks.
WaTunes allows an artist to upload their music for FREE as mp3 songs, yes you read that right for FREE and then get released on music stores such as iTunes and Amazon, all you have to do is sign up and then upload your content in a ZIP file via the website and your off.. Yes it is really that simple.
I recently joined WaTunes to try the process out and released the single of Starlight by my humble little music adventure Remergence to see how the process works, uploading had a few teething problems, but I think this was mainly down to my broadband connection, but I have uploaded a zipped file which includes four tracks and artwork and it was quite painless and Kevin Rivers the CEO at WaTunes, was extremely helpful and may I say very quick at emailing me with help, thanks Kevin.
The process is convert your music tracks to 320kbps and include your cover art in the form of a 600×600 image, zip them all in one file and upload, yeah, that’s it, then wait for the contents to be previewed and distributed.
So now it’s just a waiting game for the release to go live, it is currently listed as “in review” so hopefully over the next few weeks the release will go live and be available on iTunes, Rhapsody, eMusic and more, hopefully…
UPDATE:
24-Apr: Starlight [Single] already listed at ShockHound 
29-Apr: Starlight [Single] listed on iTunes

I would like to take the opportunity and this post to let everyone now of my new Twitter, I am now using my music Twitter as my proper twitter, this is for several reasons, one my tweets dissappearing and secondly, it’s easier for me to keep in touch with everyone through the one Twitter.
So if you do follow me through BlazingMinds please unfollow it and start following RemBeatZ instead.
Thanks everyone … Tweet ya later
