The traditional record labels dominated music market is coming to an end. If you have not noticed the latest MP3 download services on Amazon.com, you’re missing the beginning of the end of traditional music distribution era.
The ample players now are teaming with social networking web sites such as MySpace.com to find new ways to sell music. Why? They can’t advocate it. people don’t want to pay for CDs anymore. Plus, there’s no need to buy CDs when you could download them for free somewhere on the Internet. After a few years of battling, the ample labels finally realized the trend is irreversible.
However, this is not new for the independent/unsigned musician s. Independent musicians have long been promoting their recordings via unconventional channels. The entry of the ample record labels on the Internet music communities will have an impact on the indie musician s. But unsigned musicians still have one obvious advantage over the ample labels – giving out music for free.
Why ought to you give away free music on the Internet? One obvious reason is that people don’t want to pay any more. people I mean by teenagers and generation Y and beyond. Those are the fanss who don’t understand life without the Internet. You could could find a free copy of any given song on the Internet if you dig far enough.
The latest proof to this is that ample record labels are teaming up with the social networking web sites to  encourage  and give out music. This is the marketing niche where independent musicians have had since the beginning of the Internet usage. So how much impact will indie musicians feel? Big. The social networking communities have been independent musician s’ marketing channel, the entry of ample players will certainly push the small bands to the back burners. For independent musicians to achieve any form of success on the Internet, they have to take radical steps that ample labels won’t take such as giving away music for free. At this point  we  don’t know how the record label/social networking music alliance will work out, but one thing for certain is that the music won’t be all for free downloading.
