The Extended Service Package (E.S.P.) offers our clients who order replicated discs the option to take that release to the digital retail world. E.S.P. allows you to combine our high quality disc manufacturing with Symphonic Distributions world-class digital distribution. Also included is a UPC barcode and ISRC codes for your release. We will also submit your release to popular databases like Gracenote and All Music so that your CD’s information will show up in player like iTunes when put into a computer. Finally we will also submit your release information to Soundscan so that your sales data is recorded.
Details
Digital Distribution: 100% royalty distribution of up to 15 songs through our partner Symphonic distribution. Your release will be in digital download stores such as iTunes, Amazon Mp3, E Music and more. No setup fees, no hosting fees, you keep 100% of your royalties.
Encoding and Prep: We will prepare your audio for submission and work with you to complete all the important Metadata involved.
UPC: We will issue you a UPC barcode to include on your packaging and will be used for digital release.
ISRC Codes: If your label does not provide you with ISRC Codes we will create them for you prior to production so they are included on your CD and downloads.
Gracenote: Your disc will be entered into the Gracenote (formally the CDDB) database for enhanced album information when your disc is put into a computer or played on a Gracenote enhanced media player. All of your song titles, artist name, album name, etc will populate so you do not have to worry about iTunes showing your songs as Track 1, Track 2, Track 3.
All Music: Once your CD is manufactured, we will send a copy with the required information to the All Music database (www.allmusic.com). This is a great way to give you and your release more coverage on the Internet. Many people use All Music as a source to get information on an artist and their releases. You can also send us a copy of your press kit for All Music to review and use to create your page. (This service requires the use of one of your CD’s to submit to All Music, it will not be returned.)
Soundscan: A very important part of physical CD sales is reporting to Nielsen Soundscan. This service will record and track your sales. Many major labels, marketing groups, and music charting companies use this information on a daily basis. You can contact Nielsen to purchase a report of your disc sales to use as part of your marketing.
Placing a replication order is as easy as contacting a rep at info@eternitemedia.com. Be sure to tell them you would like to add the Extended services package to your order.
