TuneCore helps musicians get their music or videos to other distribution vehicles, online and in the real world. TuneCore believes that all artists should have affordable access to all channels of music distribution, get all of the money generated from the sale of their music, and all without giving up any of their master recording ownership, copyrights, merchandise rights, live performance income, public performance royalties or any other rights or money.In essence they are taking charge of one major role a label would have - distribution - but at much reduced cost, both in dollars and rights. Instead of charging a percentage of each song or album downloaded, a la iTunes or CDBaby, TuneCore charges a yearly $20 storage fee and then a rather reasonable per song or per album fee.

  Here is a good summary of how NIN paid only $38 using TuneCore to distribute their recent album on Amazon.
