Digital Music Distribution, Part II

In my quest to find a way to post music on YMusic! I found CatapultDistribution.com, a leading distributor for digital music content, enabling you to sell your songs at 25 online music stores in the US alone - a full list of the stores can be found below. World wide this company will help you to reach more than 20 countries and regions. How does it compare to TuneCore for example? The initial setup fee for CatapultDistribution is $24 USD and the pay out rates range between 91% to 95%. In comparison, TuneCore pays 100% of the royalties to the artists, does not charge a setup fee but requires $0.99 per track and $19.98 per album per year for storage costs.

So, what's is more profitable for you, really depends on the number of songs and albums you are planning to publish. But more importantly what is the audience you can reach through both networks? Looking at the number of stores and considering access to mobile network that point clearly goes to Catapult.
