now thats not a waste. |
I'll see your throat-punch and raise you a Colombian neck-tie (it's worth somewhere between 5,000 and 10,000). |

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 ing idiot |
yep. |

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? |

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? |

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:)
