Hey Football,
That's the rub. Neither iTunes nor Rhapsody let you change. Once it's uploaded, the only way to alter it in any way (even to fix a typo) is to take it down and send it up again, as basically a new album. If even one song needs a change, doesn't matter--they work by albums, not songs.
It's really awful. The cost of mistakes is redoing the whole thing. These digital services are not error-tolerant, and their idea of a song revision is, "put it up again as a separate album." Nothing we can really do.
So we tell people over and over to be sure their albums and songs and information are totally 100% correct. There's not much else we can do.
Thanks, though, and I'm glad musicians have a choice. Our service isn't free, nothing is free, but we figured a reasonable price everyone can afford and a "hands off" attitude towards rights and masters and whatever money their music can earn might be refreshing for artists. There's just no reason for a middleman, not with digital distribution. Take a small fee for delivering the goods to the "e-stores" and ship back the data and earnings, that's our approach.
Heck, that's what PeaPod does. I like PeaPod. They shop for you, they make it easy, and they only charge a few bucks for delivery, no "membership fee" or extra percentage on everything you buy. It's reasonable. I like that.

By the way, looks like you are doing a very cool thing for musicians.
Thank you |
