    Isn't this exactly the same as tunecore.com has been doing for a long time now and they offer amazon.

    Ryan, Jamie,

    Thanks for the links to Tunecore. Looked that one over.

    Songcast just looks like a basic company that has reworked the Tunecore business model.

    Another company that is doing something a little different is, http://routenote.com. Unlike CDBaby there are no upfront fees. Unlike Tunecore there is not money or yearly fees. Unlike the Orchard they dont take a large cut of your earnings.

    RouteNote has just launched and has no upfront fees and only takes 10% of net revenues. Free to sign up, anyone can sign up, doesnt tie up your royalties and is easy and simple to use. RouteNote will also be launching other services in the coming months which will make it more than just a distribution company!

    I used www.dittomusic.com and found them better than tunecore or CDbaby.

    They provide you with over 50 sites, and not just the US based ones.
    iTunes, Play, Amazon, mobile sites like Nokia and Jamster, iTunes Video, we7, HMV, Virgin and loads more

    Also online accounting, a fixed release date, 4 week turnaround and you can become eligible for the UK charts.

    They seem to have a wider coverage with about 700 sites including video distribution, ringtones etc

    Definitely one to check out

    Hi guys I'm havin fun, it's been a long time. Anyways whether you like johnnyzguitar or not you must admit you gave it a listen and i listen too , to as many as I can. I enjoy everything. Ain't this great, we've got fans and people hearing us around the world. It's A big world, with room for anyone that works hard and doesn't give up , it'll happen. But let's cut to chase here.

    OK so the three songs I put here on Soundclick made # 1. Even had a few downloads THANKYOU. Now that I got your attention, here's the real deal. Years ago Bono, ya from U2, and I had a nice little conversation in Phoenix, Arizona, you see there's alot of plight in the world. Us artists have to use our GOD given talents to do more than sing and play, we must have a purpose.

    There's so many big problems in the world. Economy, wars, starvation, global warming, terrorism, drugs, suicide, the list is endless. I'm asking every soundclick artist to think about this , and do something.

    Here's one example of one thing I'm doing. Last night I was at Winter Jam 09 at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City awesome show. I met a wonderfull young lady Beth. She is an Ambassor to Holt International, an Organization that helps kids all over the world. How cool is that !!! I decided to sponsor a little girl from China ,her name is "YAN" just 30 dollars a month. Maybe you would join me and help another kid somewhere too.

    Thanks guys AND ROCK ON !!!!

    johnnyzguitar loves ya
