How does Amazon MP3 sell my music?
TuneCore delivers your music to the Amazon MP3 music store, which sells music only as permanent digital downloads through the Web (no streaming is offered other than 30-second sample streams for each song). IMPORTANT: There is no physical distribution available through Amazon MP3. Your fans will be able to purchase songs individually or entire albums digitally as downloads to their computers and/or portable devices.
Amazon MP3 sells individual songs and albums at various price levels:
- Front Line: The highest retail price in the store (good for new releases)
- Mid Line: Slightly lower than Front Line (good for new releases and other current releases)
- Catalog: Slightly lower than Mid Line (good for older or lower selling releases)
- Special: The lowest retail price in the store (good for promotions, old and/or low selling catalog)
At this time, digital songs and albums are only sold in the Amazon MP3 US store, they will not be for sale in Amazon stores outside the US; be sure you have the rights to sell the music within the United States.
IMPORTANT: Amazon MP3 does not use Digital Rights Management (DRM) on music they sell. Music will be sold unprotected as MP3s. If you are concerned about the lack of DRM, please do not choose to sell your music through Amazon MP3.
IMPORTANT: Although for each album you submit to Amazon MP3, TuneCore lets you request its price level, an album can only be at one level, and all songs on that album will be sold at that level. Currently, Amazon does not offer regular or scheduled opportunities to change an album’s pricing level, so please choose carefully before you finalize your decision!
IMPORTANT: Amazon MP3 reserves the right to sell music any way they want and at any price they want. Even though you may choose which price level you’d like for your album, the exact dollar amount of that level is set by Amazon and can change at any time. But remember: when your songs or albums sell, you will be paid at the rate you selected.
What do I get paid when my songs or albums sell from Amazon MP3?
When an individual song or album sells from Amazon MP3, you get a fixed "pay rate" (for more information about the Fixed Pay Rate, click here: Permanent Download model).
HOW MUCH IS THE PAY RATE?
When you choose to have your album delivered to Amazon MP3 for digital distribution, you will be provided tables that reflect the Pay Rate for each price level. On occasion, Amazon MP3 will enter into promotions to help drive sales and raise profile of the music in the Amazon store (i.e., download codes bundled with a non-music product). For these promotions, the Pay Rate will automatically decrease. Please consider carefully when you decide how you want your album priced or if you are comfortable with Amazon MP3’s promotional policies at all. If not, please do not choose to have your album distributed through Amazon MP3.
