Best Artist Aggregator?

[maxh]

Thinking of submitting my bands (jazz) music to Spotify, via one of these aggregators. http://www.spotify.com/int/work-with-us/labels-and-artists/artist-aggregators/

Anyone know which is the best to go with...and actually what would be involved??

- Pre-emptive answers.

We have recordings to which we own all the rights. We've produced a CD ourselves. We have 0 contracts signed between the band.

The songs are our versions of jazz songs and therefore no-one owns the right to the 'original' as it were...

Do you actually play on the live circuit? What's the name of your band?

Sextetera,

We gig fairly often.

hmm can't help but thanks for the aggregators link - my sister is pushing her music career as much as possible and she will definitely be interested in this

From a music producer friend of mine

"2 downsides. one, it'll cost. pretty much whereever you go it'll be about £30 per album to get it online. Then you need to pay for the rights to covers... i've never sold a covers album online but i think it's a flat fee of about £10 per song, then a certain amount per sale. We'd also need to pay for a UPC barcode, that'll be another £20."
