Help with Music Distribution!

Hi! So I got my tracks all ready and I want to submit them to iTunes, Amazon etc. I did some research and it seems like I need to use the services of Tunecore or CDBaby and the likes.

Any recommendations? Also anybody heard of Bizmo, they seem to be one of the cheaper ones?

Thanks!

Tunecore can be a hit or a miss. They will get your tracks on iTunes but no guarentee on when. The first time I used them it took about a fortnight. The next time it took months.

Try Emubands.... good reports so far.

How much does this really have to do with the distributor to get your tracks on iTunes? Maybe delays have to do with how swamped the stores are by people submitting their tracks or by the tracks themselves (if there is a problem)?

Anyway, I got like 20 tracks to upload so I am looking for an inexpensive solution that isn't priced per track.

There is an interesting review here of Bizmo:

Maybe I'll give this a try or Reverbnation sounds good too. I never heard of Emubands, though it looks pretty good too. Hmm... decisions!
