So So Def might take you more seriously if you actually got their label name right.

iTunes is a great, safe way to get legal music. First, you must download it from www.apple.com/itunes. It is simple and non-viral. Then go to Music Store within iTunes (for this you need an Internet connection), type in your song/artist/album in the search bar and voila, only 79p per song. The software is completely free but the music costs. Hope I have helped!

Play as many shows as possible, get a following.  Labels want to sign someone who can sell CDs so make sure you have a crowd to sell them to.  Get your name out there with websites and merch.  Send one-sheets and press kits to labels that cater to your genre.

I have seen some vinyl on ebay, I think Rhino Records is releasing on vinyl, I would try searching websites that DJs use, as all of their media is vinyl, and see if there are links from there

Try Tower Records, Best Buy or your Local Record Store.

Dogh!...so many ways.  I am a recording artist with 4 releases out world wide with an independent label.  A label makes a big difference.  And realistically being without a label has it's fair share of problems.  However if you insist on doing all of it yourself, be prepared to spend money and lots and lots of time.\n\nThe first thing to do is saturate youself on the internet.  Put your music on every single free site you can find.  Myspace, CNET's Download.com, Artistlauch.com, Soundclick.com, IAC...the list is endless.  No doubt you will forget about where you've posted music so make a list.  The next thing is to get people on those sites to play your music on their "stations"...basically music stations that people can stream from their computers.  And Network with people, make friends with them so that they list your page on their page and vise versa.  That's the easiest thing.  Then it gets more difficult.  In order to get more people to know about you, you need to get on the radio.  Submit to every free station you can find.  (There's lots of heartbreak here) many of them will lose your material and or tell you they don't have a show that will play it.  Your skin has to be thicker than the average Joe.  Then you have to submit to people who review music and get write ups.  Target contests and publications that cater to independent music.\n\nIf you insist on the one stop place.  Visit Artistpr.com, or Sonicbids.com, these places charge a monthly fee for promoting independent bands.\n\nTo be totally honest with you, it's a crap shoot, you'll either make it or you'll just sit stagnant on the internet wondering why no-one is finding your music.  You have to be active constantly to get heard, change your pictures regularly, rotate songs, give songs away as free downloads.  Anything and everything to get and keep people interested.\n\nYou are looking at the hardest thing to do as an independent artist.  It will compromise your time for writing and recording and drain you emotionally.  You have to stay focused and strong or you will just spin your wheels.\n\nTake the positive and the negative and balance them.  I used to make some decent money back in the MP3.com days.  I promoted my music and did alright before getting signed to a label.  And now it's much the same struggle.  Still nagging people to play my stuff and giving away so much that I am still in the negative.\n\nGood luck!

I would try Craigslist.com\nhttp://www.craigslist.com\nThis way you might be able to find someone locally that is selling their music.

I would say Ebay.  Before listing the records, I would check to see what they have been selling at in the completed items listings.  You can see what they have been selling for and make an educated decision on pricing, cost to ship, etc.\n\nAmazon.com sells music, but i doubt they have a listing for vinyl.

Correspond directly with the major labels.  Talk to their sales division.  They probably won't set you up with an account to carry you on credit to start with.  You'll need to pay up-front and meet minimums in terms of volume.

Find a band that needs a singer, or visit a bunch of small clubs to see whether they have a piano, or would be willing to audition a singer or group.\n\nYou need to establish yourself in these smaller venues before you look for a recoding contract, unelss you have a voice like Barbra Striesand.

Make a demo.  You won't get anywhere without anything recorded.  The industry is ridiculously tough to get into, so you have to work hard at it.  You have to promote the hell out of your music, and create a buzz.  Start small, then work your way up.  The major labels mostly look at smaller, indie labels for new talent now.  Start performing live at local venues.  You're not going to just walk into a major recording contract.

I hate to say it, but I think that you are out of luck on this one.  The music industry generally does not accept unsolicited material.  One chance you might have it to approach a local band or musician and show them your work.  Good luck
