A good friend of mine is a road manager for a folk musician. He tried mightily to get listed on iTMS, and has now succeeded. Rounder has licensed its entire catalog to Apple, and now you can find folk artists aplenty (including John McCutcheon). There are other artists who only have a few albums listed, e.g. Bruce Cockburn, but that is probably a matter of slow or stupid record companies and time. Actually, most indie or smaller companies would probably recognize the value of iTMS far more quickly than mainstream labels. It's just that Apple had to go with the most popular stuff first to show it was a success. |
