What iTunes territories does LOOPdigital have access to?
LOOPdigital can place your music directly into all iTunes Music Store territories without
you having to deal with multiple companies or intermediaries.
Is LOOPdigital a New Zealand owned and operated company?
Yes. LOOPdigital is owned by music industry renowned LOOP Media Limited. It is
operated from within New Zealand and gives you the opportunity to deal with a
New Zealand based company that you can trust.
Is the record label of LOOP connected to my music in anyway?
No. Loop Recordings Aot(ear)oa will NOT be associated with your music AT ALL within
iTunes. You choose what record label name you would like to appear in the iTunes Music
Store.
What territories can I sell in?
LOOPdigital operates in all iTunes territories.
You can choose not to distribute in certain territories if you wish.
Is the contract exclusive?
No. The contract is non-exclusive...why would anyone try and tie someone down like that?
But you cannot use another distributor to distribute within a territory that we place your
music in. Simple.
How is the music put on iTunes?
LOOPdigital offers a complimentary service to encode and upload your albums into
iTunes. We manage all technical issues, data management and iTunes back-end
maintenance for you. Once you have provided us with the correct catalogue information
and two original copies of your albums then we take care of the rest.
What’s the deal?
The splits are as follows… (this is only indicative example for USA and amounts may vary)
A single track sells on iTunes US for 99c US, 70c US is paid to LOOPdigital less taxes.
We take 20% of the amount we receive and you get 80%.
The Term of the contract ends 120 days from when we receive from you written
notice-requesting termination.
Accounting?
You receive a consolidated accounting statement with each payment detailing all your
downloads and territories. When you have invoiced us for the amount, we direct credit the
royalties directly into your nominated bank account. We will not contact you if less than
$50 NZD is owed to you, but rollover the due amount to the next period until that total
is reached.
So that is great! You are on iTunes now, but how do you market yourself?
We recommend that you set yourself up your own website and MySpace site. Get yourself
a ‘web presence’ and look at Internet marketing programs available for digital download
artists. When your music ‘goes live’ on iTunes we provide you direct links to your iTunes
music which you can then use to promote yourself online.
