Most but not all. Not only the majors (but also some independent distributors) have direct deals with iTunes and use aggregators to administer the other platforms. It depends on the size and value of your catalog. That said, many indies, including us, would favor a direct deal with iTunes. Cut the middlemen. Makes sense when you develop hit acts and have a priority online release plan. And when you know how to encode.
Indeed JK, I need to talk to Miriam. Can you forward the contact pls to the centaur you saw in Cannes..
AWALs 15% on wholesale is ok compared to the insane rates some of the other aggregators take.
