with truth, justice and a digital way for all!
Offering mp3 music that is able to play on any mp3 player or computer from independent artists and paying 60% out to the artist/label, Austin Music Download- http://www.austinmusicdownload.com - stands to level the playing field even more for the independent musician or label on the internet.
The goal of Austin Music Download (http://www.austinmusicdownload.com) is to create a viable avenue for income from digital sales of mp3 tracks and albums of the music coming out of Texas. There is no corporate agenda to sell only music from a certain record label, or push to sell mp3 players or any other goal other than creating a platform for musicians and music lovers to meet and exchange value for value.
With digital sales of music growing to 10% of all music sold, Austin Music Download stands to assist both the tech savvy and the technically challenged artist to test the water without risk or cost. The site is a user friendly and live technical assistance is available during business hours when the onsite Frequently Asked Questions for buyers or sellers doesn’t apply.
Unlike other mp3 music sites, no one can purchase a top listing or a featured artist listing whose fees to the labels to feature that artist or album typically means that that money comes out of the artists’ revenue or become a line item to recoup before paying an artist. The features and promotions are provided to artists at no charge.
Famous for the Austin City Limits and nicknamed “The Live Music Capital of the World”, until the appearance of Austin Music Download in April 2007, there hasn’t been an Austin-based online digital music business that provides this kind of service in a DRM free format for the artists or labels that seek a larger and kinder distribution model.
Accounts are free to the artist or record label to set up and free to maintain. When a track sells .60 goes to the artist and the remainder covers transaction costs, site maintenance, marketing and advertising.
