Has music become better or worse over time?

Questions from readers to Mr. Ellis. Darrell Ellis has received over 80,000 views and request from music students, professionals, labels and enuterpenurs around the world. Matt, I would definitely not characterize music as being worse. Far from it I believe music has developed into us being able to produce wonderful content. To be more creative and to be able to use tools like we've never been able to before. I believe what is missing is the artistic value. You have to remember music has been around way before you and I came along and has evolved into us being able to produce some great things today. I recently met with a group of guys where we were able to discuss the days of seeing and working with the creativity of session musicians. Your horn sections, percussionist, string sections, etc. It brought about more then just music. We built relationships, discussed families and created music that lasted and mattered. This has no baring on producer's in popular music today.

What is needed to start an online music distribution company such as itunes?

Questions from readers to Mr. Ellis You will basically setup as an aggregator. There's a software suite called Sonic, that I would recommend. You will also need to have roughly at minimum a catalog of 250 songs or more if possible. The more the better of course. However, if you have the investment capital there are plenty of guys like myself to consult and lead you down the correct structure. To get started I'd say have a minimum of $25,000 up to $50,000. You will need your terms and conditions done by counsal, licensing, incorporation, marketing, website, in addition to an on or offsite server for uploads, membership pages, etc. If you go into it blindly you would've been better off just donating the money to Red Cross. Best of Luck, Darrell Ellis
