you will need more than one distributer for sure... I found this place: http://www.theorchard.com what you get for a small fee: - Your CDs available through Amazon.com and CDNow.com (+ more sites) - Your CDs available in the catalog that is at every major record store (like Tower Records) - which means people can order your CD through those stores... ------------------ Another thing I've been doing is a little 'backward-engineering' - Take a look at the Websites of some small labels or some indy artists, and write down the info about their distributers - then draft up a letter with some questions and info about your label - and send em off. For example... Mr. Hrvatski has done well in the distribution game, take a look at this page on his site: http://www.tiac.net/users/sheket/source.html lots of good places to distribute with. I actually bought the Hrvatski album at a small local store, so somehow, he is gettig his music everywhere. Creating a label is one thing, but running a successful business is another. - good luck man. Keep us informed.
