Hello DJF,
last week I finished my 5th studio album and was wondering what is the best way to release it.
First of all, I was thinking of putting it up on my website for sale as a digital download.
This is how it looks like in the webshop. The downside is there's no track preview but I could put one up on SoundCloud.
The other caveat is that to activate payments I need a Business plan for my website (29eur/month)
Now, how does the price look (7,99eur for 9 tracks)? Doing a quick math I'd need to sell 4 albums a month to break even.
Of course there'd be discount codes for DJs.
Would it be better to release it on Bandcamp? Afaik BC doesn't generate ISRC codes, which leads us to another question.
Do I need ISRC codes if I put the album on my webshop? This costs 75eur to apply for a registrant code from IFPI and it could take a couple of weeks (after which I'd basically run my own label)
I already have a VAT number for my business if that matters.
Thank you for your patience, your input is much appreciated,
-ef
