How to Get My Song on iTunes

The iTunes Store is a digital music store that allows anyone with an Internet connection and an iTunes account the ability to search for and download music, and can be used to sell your music through the online service. In order to sell your digital music, you must be approved as a content provider, which allows you to upload content to the online store and receive royalties from digital downloads of your music. Prior to selling your music, you must have control of the digital distribution rights to your music, which determines where your music can be sold.
