Under a new deal with SnoCap, ReverbNation.com users can now sell downloads through the site’s DistroNow module. Under the arrangement, SNOCAP will handle the
transaction with the consumer
and the royalty payments to the digital
rights holders.
“Our partnership with SNOCAP will allow ReverbNation
artists to harness the viral nature of the online music network and present the
opportunity for fans to purchase music at the very moment their interest is
piqued – when they are on the artist’s profile page or when they receive a
ReverbNation TunePak from a friend, “ said Jed Carlson, Chief Marketing Officer
of ReverbNation.com. “Combining SNOCAP with our TunePak
product means that
purchase transactions can travel with the music through
emails, IM’s and blogs.”
SNOCAP enables artists
to make their music available for sale across the web via a
simple interface which can create digital
storefronts on the bands’ site, social networking sites or music
focused sites like ReverbNation. One-stop registration allows musicians,
labels and distributors to clear and manage their licensing rights across
multiple retail destinations. Using sophisticated music fingerprinting
technology to identify and catalog the music, SNOCAP ensures that the proper
rights-holders are paid.
Artists who have profiles on ReverbNation.com just copy and paste their SNOCAP MyStore code into the designated box in the
DistroNow module. The complete transaction t will be handled by SNOCAP’s
e-commerce engine and rights holders are able to access sales reports.
ReverbNation has also introduced other great D.I.Y. empowering features that I’ll be writing about in the coming days.
