With the cost of CDs in the market, most consumers today would rather download music online, and save on the cost. CDs add extra cost because they have to pay royalty fees to produces and artist, must pay for the design of a cover to be made, pay for studio time to create the CD, and all other costs which are incurred while creating a CD, are ultimately passed on to you, the consumer. Therefore, a cheaper, and much better option to buy music today, especially if you want to support a local indie band, is to download the music online.

There are so many sites consumers can choose from today, that the different download sites have lowered their prices for songs, in order to win over the consumer, and to be able to contend in an industry with such high demand. However, some fans are loyal to certain downloading sites, whether it’s because they have been using it for so long, or because their favorite indie band only sells songs through that site. No matter what the reasons are for choosing the site to download your music, there are many choices for music lovers to consider, and ultimately download their music from.

A few great sites which support indie bands, and are competative in pricing are: Apple’s Itunes store, Pandora Music Box, and Napster. These sites offer a huge selection of indie bands to choose from, along with well known artists in the industry which to choose music from. Depending on the song (and the indie band you are looking for), these three download sites will differ in price per song, only by a few cents. But typically, 99 cents to 1.50 is the range for these artists. No matter which site you choose, all three are great to support your favorite indie artist.
