Whether newcomer or professional, today almost all musicians want to sell their music on the Internet. Unsurprisingly, because more than 3.5 billion people already have online access. In 2016, the music market is bigger than ever before.
Especially artists and bands without a record deal can profit from the digital distribution. With little effort they can release their songs worldwide on online shops such as iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, Google, etc. Furthermore, digital distribution has numerous advantages compared to the production of physical recordings such as CD or LP.
