Wired.com is reporting that TuneCore is going to partner with Amazon to offer CD’s printed and distributed on demand. TuneCore will charge only $31 per year to prepare a 10-track CD. Music lovers will buy the CD’s on Amazon’s website, and musicians will get 40% of the proceeds.
TuneCore has generate $32 million in sales in the past 22 months, so it seems independent musicians are increasingly warming up to the idea to release on TuneCore and completely cut the studios out of the process.
Given the increasingly sophisticated prosumer sound equipment available to indie musicians, it seems the major studios more and more have no answer to question, “Why sign with a studio?”
I think the beginning of the end (or at least major changes) for major label recording studios are in sight.
The story is being discussed on Slashdot here.
Blogs discussing the story include the Daily Swarm, Linux Plus, and Dummies.

I wouldn’t count the major studios out yet. Obviously they provide a lot of exposure that you wouldn’t get without a studio even in this age of youtube, facebook, etc.

Very interesting topic, thank you for putting up.
Thanks for the thoughts you share through this site. In addition, many young women that become pregnant don’t even try to get health insurance coverage because they dread they couldn’t qualify. Although a lot of states currently require that insurers give coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions. Fees on these kind of guaranteed options are usually larger, but when with the high cost of medical care it may be your safer strategy to use to protect the financial future.
