TuneCore founder and CEO Jeff Price will participate in a panel, "Digital Distribution Deals: How to get your music placed with online music platforms and digital service providers" this Friday as part of Remix Hotel, a traveling weekend long technology conference geared towards audio technology put on by Remix Magazine. Cofounder of spinART Records, Jeff Price is an innovative 18-year music industry veteran.
TuneCore.com, the new music delivery and distribution service has changed the 100-year-old rules and model of the music business. It is a low, flat fee service that delivers music to iTunes, eMusic, Rhapsody and many other major download sites while taking no rights and no revenue from the sale of the music. TuneCore's fees are simply based upon the number songs delivered and the number of digital retailers it will be delivered to. With Nielsen SoundScan already reporting almost 200 million digital units sold this year (and those are just the ones they are counting), it is no wonder that artists are building careers, selling significant volumes of music and generating more revenue than most "signed" artists while keeping their rights utilizing the new model created by TuneCore.
This is the fourth annual event that Remix Magazine has held at SAE. Remix Hotel returns to NYC next month and the Shocklee Innertainment Panel Series will be in full swing Friday May 18 through Sunday May 20. Over 3,000 people attended in 2006. Remix Hotel is a 3-day weekend conference featuring an exciting mix of workshops, demonstrations, panels and networking with today's top audio technology companies, artists, producers, engineers, musicians and leaders from all corners of the music industry.
Registration is free and open to the public:
