it is great what u are doing. haven't heard your music but you do what u love, admirable!\nwell make it at home as good as you can, let friends and others hear it and ask what they think needs readjusted, in soundquality, not in structure. take the good advice to heart, maybe change something, send your music to www.cdbaby.com and see... maybe you can find more sites like that but i enjoy cdbaby very much, i like their set up.\nand get gigs!download or order or get from anywhere (inter)national lists where you can perform and send send send.\nask for a reply.  Go yourself to the places that you can with your demo.\nFaith!\nopenness!\ngood luck happens to those who seek it!

Vinyl is still alive and kicking.  While they're used mostly by party DJ's nowadays, major artists also release things on vinyl.  I know for a fact that Bruce Springsteen releases every album on vinyl still.  Also, Foo Fighters released "In Your Honor" on a vinyl set.  If you want, I could tell you some great places to go in the northeast for vinyl.

You can by a used DAT player (or any other recording device) relatively cheap on the Internet or at a music store. From there post your music on the Internet. Create accounts on pages like MySpace.com or other web communities. Talk about your music and tell them that they can download your music for free. IF you get a good buzz going a record producer will eventually contact you.

Try your local record store.

Go to iTunes. It costs you but the selection is growing and it is completetly legal. You can also search around on the web (very difficult) and possibly buy them via eBay or some web site like that. I know what you mean, I had this problem too. \n\nPS. You can write iTunes a little note and they will try to get the music you request. Cool, huh?

What do you mean by "digital" record label?  Do you mean an online music store like iTunes?  or do you mean you want to build a recording studio using all digital equipment?

Probably not much, especially if it is not in pristine condition.  Try selling it on eBay with a minimum bid required.  Vinyl doesn't fetch top-dollar unless it is a rare issue.

it would be nice to know what type of music u play, but i doubt you have a deal because record companies only sign bands that have been playing for a while...that is, bands that already have a name. but if you really did, use your name.

staring with a few questions:\nAre your songs copyrighten?\nWhat Performing Rights Organization are you a member of?\nHow many genres do you work in?\nDo you specialize in a genre?\nHow large is your catalog?\n\nThese are key things to sort out when venturing into the world of music publishing. In a perfect world you'd find a manager a publisher and let the money start rolling in....unfortunatly getting a publshing deal these days is about as hard as get a record deal.\nBUT\nthe good thing is publishing deals with mainly with ownership and issuing the rights to use a song.\nFor that perspective you can copyright your songs, compile and organize your catalog and bamm, you're a publisher.\nTHE \nhard part comes in selling your songs to the movies.\nKnowing your market is key, know what your movie makers want, and actually having it...\nUnderstand that doing all types of genres doesnt mean a hill of beans to a music supervisor looking for a specfic song for his movie project.\nDoing the research, knowing the music desision makers are  and what they need is how you get a feel for the demand of your catalog in the market.\nTrade mags, tip-sheets, etc.. can help with this, but keep in mind these resources and contacts are valuable to independent artist  and companies and should not be abused. Some tip-sheets are not cheap and for some you even need to provide credentials to buy. If you are a member of a performing rights org., check their website, look for workshops, \nshowcases, events where panelist speak and answer questions, or events that give you a chance to meet people. At some point you have to put on your salesmen's hat. \nButs not impossible to get a song placed on your own...

Your first step will be to contact the various record companies.  Once you've done that, you'll need to find out who the distributor is in your area.\nThen, you'll need to contact the distributor and let them know what your station format is going to be so they can start sending you music.  You'll also need to furnish them - probably at the company level as opposed to the distributor - with your call letters or provide documentation from your faculty supervisor verifying that you're going to either have a carrier current station (won't be broadcast outside the building) or on the web.  If you're webcasting, you might have a bit more difficulty and will almost definitely have to provide verified documentation and aren't just someone trying to get free cds.  \nGood Luck

You have to promote your music. If you're playing gigs put all the money you can on a great album to sell at your shows. Form a relationship with your local radio stations. Some will play indie music. Get in touch with music publishers. Do anything you can to get heard. The major labels won't accept unsolicited material so don't waste your time. You can also try taxi.com. They're a huge company the big boys go to when they want fresh faces and material. Don't give up. Good luck.

You need a truckload of money. If you are looking to make money, forget it. The record industry as we know it will soon die as a result of the internet and new media. There is just too much overhead and not enough income, and people have plenty more options for entertainment.\n\nLook into developing new media avenues instead.

Record deals aren't just handed out , you have to be ready. Look at yourself , your songs , your talent. Listen to your demo and honestly answer to yourself....Are you ready?  are ya?

If you mean for free, and legally, then nowhere.\nIf you want to pay up then try an online music store.\nIf you want it illegally, then find somewhere else to ask.\n\nRawlyn.
