[microsound] [canada]: Digital distribution to iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, MusicMatch and more!



Of interest -- (although a direct deal can be done with iTunes, I am

more!

First of all, Happy New Year to you and your family from us here at Indie
Pool.  We believe 2005 will be a ground breaking year for Canadian
independent recording artists.  We anticipate major changes to the worldwide
digital distribution network; modifications to Canadian content rules that
will finally meet independent music requirements; and the introduction of
satellite radio in Canada. Indie Pool will continue to be at the forefront
for each of these issues.  And now for the first order of business for 2005:

Indie Pool is proud to announce the continued expansion of its digital
distribution program.  After months of negotiations with many parties, Indie
Pool has secured distribution to the world's largest digital retailers for
Canada's independent recording artists.  Starting February 1st, Indie Pool's
digital distribution program will not only include Puretracks, but the
following retailers too:

NEW STORES :  iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, MusicMatch, Audio Lunchbox,
MusicNow, MSN Music Service, Downloadpunk.com, Sony Connect, MusicNet,
Liquid Audio, Australia's Destra, eCast, Wippit, and Musicstream.

PURETRACKS U.S. : Last year, Indie Pool secured front of the line service
for Canada's indies through Puretracks, Canada's leading legal digital
download store.  Puretracks recently announced the launch of its US store
which makes Canadian independents available on Puretracks in the United
States. 

SAME PRICE : $100 to distribute a full length album or $50 for a single.
Artists already signed up with Puretracks may expand their coverage free of
charge, by signing an updated agreement.

OUR CUT : Artists will receive 90% of all revenues received from digital
sales, Indie Pool keeps a 10% processing fee.
