Sell Your Music Online
Vitaminic.com
Vitaminic helps you discover new music groups who have chosen to put their music out on the Internet in MP3 format and you can get in touch with them. The Vitaminic directory is compiled in order of musical genre and it gives you some information about the band or artist together with some links so that you can listen to their music. If you don't know about MP3 and want to find out more, have a look at the section that explains where to start. In the Software section, you'll find programs you can use to listen to, create, and manage music for the Internet. In the hardware section you'll find a description of all the new equipment for playing back MP3 music. As well as the directory on the Vitaminic site, you'll also find the charts with the tracks most often downloaded, interviews and special reports about musical events. The News area contains all the latest about MP3 digital music. To get all the latest news about the site, just sign up for the Vitaminic Newsletter.
If you're a musician, Backstage is the area reserved for those who produce music and wish to transmit it and sell it online. With Vitaminic, any band or artist can now sell their music. All you need is a computer linked up to the Internet. If you register with Backstage, you can create your own pages, upload your tracks and sell them over the Internet.
Backstage services
What can I do Backstage? Here's a list of services for all those who play music. Keep an eye on it because there'll be new ones all the time:
Registration in the directory: Choose which category you want to be in, introduce your band, upload at least one promotional track you want to broadcast free of charge to Vitaminic users and your band will be included in the Vitaminic directory.
Your band's homepage: You can create a page, putting in information about your band, including biographies, your logo, pictures, members, anything you need to introduce yourselves and describe your music.
Promotion: You can also include a sentence and a picture which will be shown at the top of the homepage and on the top-level pages of the musical categories, in order to increase your band's visibility.
Broadcast and sale of music: You can upload your band's tracks so that they can be transmitted in RealAudio. Visitors to the site will be able to download them in MP3. For each track, you decide how you want to distribute them: promo, protected or for sale. A promo track can be heard and downloaded free of charge by visitors to the site; a protected track is like a promo but you need to register with the band's fanzine if you want to download it. You can also sell the tracks: you decide the price.
Site statistics: You can check to see how your Vitaminic page is getting on with transmissions, downloads and sales.
Translation of your information: Vitaminic wants you to increase your popularity abroad: just translate your information, and they'll put it onto the fast-growing Vitaminic web sites all around Europe.
