You now what really pisses me off?

Alright, I'm trying to get into music, but there are no good stores out there to sell music!

On Soundclick, you can sell music and get paid for it within a week of the purchase of a song by a customer. BUT the customer HAS to pre-pay at least $5 dollars in an account! I wanted to charge only 25 cents to buy a song I put on there, but it will never work like that in reality. In reality someone has to spend at least $5 to buy a 25 cent song. That's fucking ridiculous.

On SNOCAP, a music store that is often used by independent artists to sell music on MySpace, the customer can buy only a song without having to pre-pay $5, BUT it sucks for artists because it takes 45 days after the month in which a song has been sold to actually receive the money made from the song. And that site charges a higher royalty, they also don't have a 25 cent price option.

One can sell music on iTunes and other major online retailers featuring digital downloads by using a service called TuneCore. However, Tunecore doesn't take a cut of your profits like the other two stores, they charge you a yearly hosting fee to sell music. That means if you sell nothing, you can actually lose money using TuneCore. And by the way, you have to wait 45 days after the end of the month in which a song was sold to receive your share of money from that song.

It's pretty freaking ridiculous that there isn't a better option.
