DESCRIPTION:
Music 2.0—Digital Music Services for Promoting and Distributing Your Work is programming from Musicplus: Skill Building for Musicians. Recorded 5/16/10 at East
Bay Community Foundation in Oakland, CA.

Thanks to the Internet, there are now a mind-boggling array of tools and services that have been built to help musicians promote, distribute and sell their music. With so many tools at our disposal how does one determine which services work? Which are compensating musicians, labels, and songwriters, and how? How can musicians participate? This session starts with a virtual tour of many of the existing business models and includes a conversation with experts who are involved in some of today's most exciting music-technology platforms.
