Reply To: Masters of Song-Fu
JeffM, were you able to enter early? Or will you get a callback as Master this time? 🙂
I would love to be called back as a “Master” but the only way that happens is if you win the entire competition. I would imagine that as this contest continues to grow, more experienced professionals (who might be able to hold there own with JoCo) will enter the contest. I am entering at the same time as every other challenger and starting at square one with everyone else. While I would love to be seeded in some way, it really is the fair way to do it. Just hope I don’t get knocked out too early.
You have to pay to sell things on iTunes?
To sell stuff on itunes, you have to be with some sort of entity that has a contract with Apple (i.e. a record label). If you are not on a label, you have a few options. CD Baby (which I believe is who JoCo uses), TuneCore and a handful of other service companies. I prefer TuneCore because they charge a flat fee to upload the material to itunes and a yearly charge to store the albums. (as opposed to CD baby who take a percentage of your sales) With TuneCore’s pricing, it’s cheaper to upload an album… or rather, an album is one flat price regardless of how many songs are on it… so a single would cost more to put up if I did several of them.
