i agree with two things in this thread:
1. 2,50� for an 320 kbps mp3 is way too much
2. body125z acts like a fucking idiot

I'll see your throat-punch and raise you a Colombian neck-tie (it's worth somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000).

I understood that, therefor i raised because i thought a neck-tie would be even more appropriate for that troll..

Yeah �2.50 for an mp3 is silly.

Make it �3.50 with the .wav file and its even worse.

But if the vinyl (say) is �8.00 to buy and has two or three tracks on it, add postage on top of that and Beatport is still cheaper. All I'm personally going to do anyway is rip the vinyl to the computer and put the vinyl on the shelf, so .wav is still better.

It's quite sad that you think people are getting rich over the pricing of tracks.

Lets take the sale of one track and break it down so you have a better idea of where the money goes:

US $2.49 for Track

a retail site may take 40% so $0.99 (keep in mind these site have to pay credit card processing fees, bandwidth for download transfers, etc., etc.)
$2.49
-$0.99
------
$1.50 remaining

Any distributor takes around 15% so $0.22
$1.50
-$0.22
------
$1.28 remaining

The balance then goes to the label to then further break down based on royalty rates agreed upon by the artist, etc. Let's use in this example that the label and artist agreed on a 50%/50% split of royalties

$1.28 / 2 = $0.64 to the artist and label for each track sold.

average sales of digital releases are probably around 1,000 each so $640. It obviously depends on the popularity of each release, etc.

So... maybe you have a different outlook on things after this reply?

hmm nice analysis man..
by the way i didnt saythat artist got rich...
its obvious from your reply that distributor and label owners earn money doing nothing at all...
despite that 2.5E is quite expensive to keep me avoiding down em illegal.
a logical price of around 0.5 or 1E would be attractive for a good digital release

I'm not really into how the industry works in this field, but why would you need a distributor in this case? Isn't a distributor usually who sends the vinyls from the pressing plant to all the record shops? Then why would you still need them for digital releases, can't the label themselves do the work of uploading the tracks to the mp3 shops?

+1 am wondering about that too!!

and in that case flashover label is ferry corsten's ..
so ferry if u want to earn some more money get your ass in front of a computer and make some tunes like gouryella project!!

There are quite a few digital distributors out there nowadays. Check out this statement:

from Beatport
Question
I want to sell my releases on Beatport. How do I do this?

Answer
We think it is very important to be the definitive home of dance music and to accommodate as many new labels and talent as possible. However, at the current time we are not taking on any new label partners. We thank you for your patience as we work to bring on more new labels in the near future.

because there are so many labels and releases now, it's overwhelming. So Beatport will only accept releases now through distribution channels. Also, it would be extremely time consuming and a nightmare to get all the material for your next release to all the retail sites. My distributor send all the releases for my label to over 100 websites. And they do it quickly and accurately! They also promote your releases and try to get them featured on the main pages of retail sites. So for a small fee (15%) distributors do a lot of work for you in the digital realm!
