Shay Dan:
Can
you tell us a bit about how you intend to
use bandcamp ?
Dante: Sure.
Remember though I'm a newby at
selling music on the internet, so I
don't know the end result yet.
e.g. whether I'll sell enough music
to pay for the various nominal
subscription fees. As you can
see to the right I have used
Bandcamp to set up my album of 12
songs. For each song I have
uploaded or entered the following
elements:
-
Song Title.
Self explanatory. The
album is named after the first
song I wrote - hence 'Sea Of
Songs'
-
Audio File.
These have all been mastered at
96KHz by the Scope XITE-1D.
-
Graphics.
A
picture for each song.
Same picture I use in iTunes to
build up my originals music
collection so that it shows on
the iPhone screen whenever I
play the song.
-
Lyrics.
The lyrics for the song.
Plain text.
-
Description.
A
brief description of what the
song is about.
-
ISRC Number.
A
unique number that identifies a
song - for example
differentiates it from another
song by the same name by some
other artist. This makes
it easier for collection
agencies to send royalties to
the right place.
-
Credits.
Text that describes who wrote
the song, who recorded,
performed and engineered it etc.
-
Copyright.
A
brief copyright note describing
expectations of others who may
want to use the song.
Shay Dan:
And
have you checked out any other
online distribution services ?
Dante:

the moment, I'm checking out
