a fair, transparent and sustainable partnership for digital downloads
DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION FOR ARTISTS
The growth of digital distribution has enabled artists to bypass the record label and release their own material for download at a fraction of the cost of traditional reproduction. This can mean more effort but it also means a greater share of the income. Isa Music are here to help make it work for you.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU
- Your music. You can send us a standard audio CD or upload uncompressed audio (aiff,wav) or lossless audio (flac).
- The "meta data" relating to your music. This is the title, cover art, barcode, track listing and ISRC codes. You upload this data via our web site.
To help us promote your music we also need:
- A full current biography.
- Recent photographs.
- Details of any upcoming gigs.
Finally, you must link to the downloads from your website in one of the following ways.
- Prominent link on your website to your page on Isa Music.
- Put an Isa Music "widget" on your website. This can be downloaded and customised via our site.
- Link to a "skinned" shop on one of our partner retailers.
WHAT WE DO FOR YOU
- We encode your music and deliver it to the major international download platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, eMusic, Napster and 7Digital.
- We also deliver your music to smaller independent web retailers. Many of these are genre specific and are as much a guide to the music as a store.
- We distribute the biographies and photographs you supply to the retailers to make your music stand out.
- We provide a web based interface to give you up to date sales data.
- We collect the payments from the retailers and pay you your share.
OUR COSTS
If you can provide all the information required, accept our Terms and Conditions and are willing to license your releases through Isa Music then our rates are:
