Digital download stores for irish charts (1 Viewer)

[Beanstalk]

Can anyone recommend the best site for selling your band's MP3s?
Or linkage to a similar previous thread, as this has probably been asked before.

Does the band set the cost price?
What percentage of the cost price does the site take?
Is it easier/better to go for something like outersounds.ie instead of itunes?
Do you have a better chance of the Chart folk (imra?) taking a sample of sales from itunes, than from outersounds?

So many questions...

My friend puts his music on downloadmusic.ie and he has no complaints. I dunno what the split is. He also sells on cdbaby.com which will put your music on iTunes and other download stores as well as sell the physical cd for you. I think there's a number, i can't recall the technical name that you need for your release in order to qualify for a chart placing. Eh I wish i could be more specific but check out those two links and they'll give you more info.
