BYO CD
Interesting developments on the way from Amazon, with a partnership with distribution start-up Tunecore allowing artists to get physical CDs onto Amazon's books, through a new short-run system.
Only problem is, does anyone still buy CDs? Tunecore are on top of that too as we already reported, allowing full distribution through Amazon's MP3 store - with Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor paying the company a mere $38 to get his 4-disc album into the store, then receiving a 40% share of the Amazon retail price.
Wired has the story.
