From Sivers.org
Question: “Should I put my music on LOTS of websites, or just a few?”
Answer: Lots. Here’s why:
Millions of people love Rhapsody. They get all
of their music at Rhapsody, so if you’re not there, and they search for
you, they will shrug and listen to something else instead. You might
have just forever lost a potential new fan.
Millions of people love last.fm. They get all of their music at last.fm, so if you’re not there, and they search for you, same thing. Oh well.
Same with iTunes. Same with eMusic. Same with a dozen different sites.

For many up-and-coming
acts, distribution is this mysterious, elusive, and ultra-important
“missing ingredient” that enables major labels to turn
their artists into mega-stars while indie bands are doomed to struggle
in obscurity. Luckily, this perception is overblown, and the tools
an indie artist needs to successfully distribute its product are neither
mysterious nor elusive.
