I really have appreciated the friendly and helpful responses, just haven't had a very smooth run at all on this first innings. My main concern is that all the artists on my album are credited properly and it alarms me to see this problem going on. Otherwise it's a brilliant thing that WaTunes offers free distribution for independent artists in this way and I recommended it out on artist networks too when I first saw it here. Cheers.

Uploaded it to iTunes in April. It took a very long time to go to iTunes and needed me to email Watunes about getting it there. When it did appear in iTunes most of the track names are listed incorrectly. Email exchange with Watunes about this on 3 July and it was to be fixed. Still waiting. I am unable to do any publicity about this album being released to iTunes until this is done, it's been slow process and I wonder if I am going to be stuck with an incorrectly tagged album on iTunes at the end of it... :( Hey, I’m still having trouble though with the iTunes release.

I think this is great for the digital music industry at the moment. I am going to investigate this further thanks. This looks really interesting, nice to see indie artists being paid.

I'm glad that you've seen me so active. This shows that for us at WaTunes, our customers are not considered a number, they are considered a person. I strongly agree with you when you say that EDUCATION is important. It's great to see companies provide marketing strategies (free-ones at that) that can help a musician strive for success. A mutual relationship is what will decide the factor. @ Karen & All: Hi Karen. We're getting faster! As we're gearing up to automate all of our music store content deliveries (becoming our own encoding house), we'll be able to make deliveries of all your music (and soon music videos) easy to accomplish. Also for extensive marketing services, I'd recommend that you check out our sister company called Music Expand ( www.musicexpand.com ). Though very independent from WaTunes as they help even other digital distributors, they can really help you place your investment into real marketing avenues including Radio, Press, and Networking.
