So you sell your songs on iTunes for $1 apiece and Apple takes 30 cents? That would be fairly standard (similar to Google and Amazon). And are folks on Spotify just paying for a listen?

Back in the day mechanical royalties on a 45 would be about 5 cents.

I was just looking at a report on my music distributor's site, and was struck by the huge difference in music royalties, from two partners:

MediaNet sold 1,841 of my songs, for a grand total of $20.58 :-(
also thumbs down on Spotify.

iTunes sold 104 of my songs, for a total of $71.98 :-)
also honorable mention to Amazon.
