Lefsetz Letter » Blog Archive » Trusted Sources
Indie label owners are irascible. They’re more into music than profits. They’re opinionated. They cull through the options and then serve up music you’ll be interested in, if they’ve already gained your trust. – Bob Lefsetz
How can I sell my music online?
This is one of the questions I get asked very often by South African musicians.
In 2002 I was involved with creating the SAmp3. com portal for promoting South African music through free downloads. However there was no real way, at the time, to monetize these free give-aways.
In August 2006, I became a partner in starting Rhythm Online to sell MP3s to the world. This online store is now known as Rhythm Music Store (and also MyMusiek) and if you are a talented musician, published or unpublished, fill in the online electronic distribution agreement to have your tunes listed on Rhythm Online Music Store.
Would you like the world to hear and buy your music?
SAmp3. com can help you promote your music through channel24 and sell your MP3s to the world on the RhythmMusicStore.com.
And the best part is, there is no cost to you!
Music Sales:
If you wish to sell your music on RhythmMusicStore.com you will need to complete the easy online agreement.
All the information you need can be found there.
Currently Rhythm Music Store is only able to accommodate artists and labels with bank accounts in South Africa.
For selling MP3s on Rhythm Music Store we require a physical audio CD or CD-R for for the following reasons:
- Quality Control
- Naming Convention
- Creation of 30 second samples
Single songs are also fine (we list it as a album with only one track, and with its own artwork and blurb), but we still require the music to be supplied on an audio CD, please.

New Radio Rats Single released
1.Little Miss Bliss
2.Crystal Bible Girl
3.Daar’s ‘n Drol In Die Drinkwater (bonus, by popular demand)
This is disc one of the new Radio Rats ‘Love Train’ album project. Tracks will be added as “singles” as they are completed, until there are enough for an album.
Brian Currin
I believe that Pop music ought to be literary in a way, minimalistic, but not dumb.
It’s not good enough to be able to play well – the words must be even better than the pathetic playing. The words of traditional country are often superb, the playing on the other hand is standard, but still superb too. Pop can take inspiration from Country brilliance.
Well, the 7-Single project could make South Africans as good as the best Americans, if it grows.
But, I ramble . . .
