Join Bobby Owsinski for an in-depth discussion in this video Submitting your songs to iTunes, part of Selling Music: MP3s, Streams, and CDs.
…Everyone wants their songs available on iTunes or iTunes Radio.…But unless you are a record label with a substantial…catalog, you won't be able to submit them by yourself.…Apple provides a free tool called iTunes Producer for song and album submission.…But you still need a special label account to activate it.…This allows labels to supply not only the digital…files but all the required metadata from a single source.…If you're an indie artist or a band without an Apple recognized record label.…You'll have to use one of the content aggregators like TuneCore or…CD Baby, in order to get your songs or album on iTunes.…
These services have the added advantage of supplying your music…to a host of other music services at the same time.…Saving you the hassle of submitting to each one individually.…
