Hey Jake, super interesting AMA!

I volunteer for a diy music venue, and something that's on our agenda is having a small music distro to support independent artists and labels.

Have you sold music/merch on consignment or is there a better way for you to get your records into shops? Or do you prefer online sales?

Bonus question: how do you feel about licensing agencies like BMI and ASCAP?

Thanks for the response!

We are still in the planning stages for making the distro larger but currently selling tapes/CDs from about 20 bands that have self released. It's a hard sell though as most of the bands are touring acts from across the country and are somewhat unknown. We will definitely keep you in mind when looking to expand!
