Bathtubmusic.com, a premier music site for independent artists selling DRM FREE downloadable music and CDs, announced the relaunch of their website with a new look and features. But behind the cosmetic changes lies a renewed focus on meeting the changing needs of today’s independent artist.
“We realize that we’re in a crowded field of online music retailers,” noted Bathtubmusic.com CEO, Moses de los Santos. “In order to compete, we had to develop a package that provided independent artists with a greater return on their investment than our competitors.”
A one-stop retail shop, Bathtubmusic.com allows artists and labels to upload an unlimited number of free albums for digital sale. This is particularly attractive to independent labels with large catalogs who want to start earning revenue on older releases. “While labels may focus on their most current releases, there is often untapped value in their catalog. We want to make it as easy as possible for them to monetize it.”
Bathtubmusic.com has also committed to setting the industry’s lowest fees for physical CD sales. In addition to only charging a $9.95 per CD setup fee, Bathtubmusic.com retains just $3.00 per CD sold – both the lowest rates available. “By charging a lower commission, we provide artists with greater flexibility to price their product as well as extra revenue they can invest in their careers.”
In addition to providing full retail support, Bathtubmusic.com also strives to help expose its artists, such as through the “Bathtub Broadcast Station,” their answer to the traditional music store listening station. They have also forged unique business relationships with strategic partners to help its artists’ music get promoted to an audience of over 1,500 websites representing some 65 million site visitors.
Bathtubmusic.com is the premier music site for independent artists selling DRM FREE downloadable music and CDs. Based just outside of Los Angeles, Bathtubmusic.com represents thousands of artists’ albums from 27 countries, supported by a team composed of singer/songwriters, engineer/producers and former indie-label executives. The staff at Bathtubmusic.com are fans of music and fanatical in their approach to helping artists fulfill their passion to create. Its not just business at Bathtubmusic.com, its about the artist and their music.
