Doesn't it? Wow. DIY bands should be all over this.
Just so we're clear, Tunecore isn't actually affiliated with CDBaby, right? I know the CDBaby owner was talking about getting their catalog onto iTunes at one point, but I gather it never happened. [/b]
Artists who use CDBaby have the option of being distributed electronically by a number of places including iTunes, eMusic, etc. The catalog is huge and can't be added at once to any give service.
My only reaction to this it will attract the usual suspects that flock to services like Weedshare, GarageBand, MySpace etc to distribute their music. It will quickly get overwhelmed with the good, the bad and the ugly as there is no gatekeeper controlling the flow.
I've tried to wade through archive.org's catalog of Netlabels, but it's like looking for a needle in haystack. finding antyhing is daunting and fustrating as no control is applied to how releases are placed in catogories etc. for instance one of the more interesting finds there is a very Go! Team track .
