Tunecore has just gotten its first payment for $10,000 from Apple's iTune's Match, and CEO Jeff Price believes that's a hopeful sign. "Seeing an additional $10,000+ appear out of the thin air for TuneCore Artists by people just listening to songs they already own is amazing!" Now, $10,000 for all the acts that TunecCore distributes isn't much money, but it is a start.

I agree with Jeff when [he says](http://blog.tunecore.com/2012/02/apple-imatch-the-first-royalties-are-in.html?ref=hypebot.com), "Services like iMatch, Spotify, Simfy, Deezer and others are bringing that innovation – it will take some time to learn which are the ones consumers want."
