DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION FOR CD DISTRIBUTORS

As CD sales decline and digital sales increase the role of the traditional distributor is threatened. At Isa we belive there is still an essential role for knowledgable distributors to bring together catalogue from small labels and independed artists together. We can work in partnership with you allow you to add digital distribution to your range of services.

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 brief biography for each artist.
• A photograph for as many artists as possible.

Plus for new releases:

• A full current biography.
• Recent photogrpahs.
• 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 client's music and deliver it to the major international download platforms including iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, eMusic, Napster and 7Digital.
• We also deliver your client's 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.
