Most, if not all, record labels have physical and digital outlets for their music. The internet provides most record labels with a means to electronically distribute music via napster, emusic, i-tunes and the label websites.
Some say the record label industry is declining and will eventually fail because the internet and technology has lessoned the importance of a label's services. The number of "internet or digital" record labels is on the rise. These electronic labels only provide a means of distribution via the Internet.
The accessibility to the potential millions of people the internet provides for musicians with the click of a button is unmatched, but the exposure and spread of name recognition is still just as challenging, if not more than it was back in the days of Motown.
"The labels have to earn back trust from the bands," said Spin Magazine's Interactive Director Peter Gaston. "And they're finally making a pretty big move in this instance by getting involved digitally in a way that seems geared toward earning back some fans and having a quicker pathway to get to them."
