Many fellow musicians and artists have been asking how I got my music up on iTunes and the other MP3 stores as many of you have probably noticed, these networks are not usually open to the public or small indie labels.

TuneCore is a music delivery and distribution service that gets artists’ original music (even cover versions) and record label releases up for sale on iTunes and many other MP3 stores without asking for your rights or taking any money from the sale or use of your music.
