TuneCore
TuneCore is a New York City–based digital music distribution, publishing and licensing service founded in 2006. It has been a part of the French music company Believe Music since April 2015.
TuneCore distributes music through online retailers such as Deezer, Spotify, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Google Play, Tidal, Beatport and others. TuneCore also offers music publishing administration services, helping songwriters record their compositions and earn royalties internationally. TuneCore has been sued twice for copyright infringement; the first lawsuit was settled out of court, and the second is ongoing.
TuneCore was founded in 2006 by Jeff Price, Gary Burke, and Peter Wells.
TuneCore's first customer was Frank Black, lead singer of the Pixies. In December 2006, music instrument and equipment retailer Guitar Center bought a stake in TuneCore, giving the company access to the music retailer's customers.
In 2008, TuneCore was utilized by Nine Inch Nails to deliver the music from their album, Ghosts I–IV, to the Amazon MP3 store.
TuneCore fired Jeff Price, a co-founder and then-CEO, after the company faced a "cash-flow" crisis in 2012. Price has sued TuneCore for severance compensation and alleged that the company may have been insolvent, an accusation that the company appears to dispute.
TuneCore was acquired by Denis Ladegaillerie's Believe in April 2015. The acquisition opened up artists' access to Believe Digital's wider distribution network and label services. Both of the companies remained operationally separate, while jointly claiming to represent 25 to 30 percent of the new music uploaded to iTunes each day. After the acquisition, TuneCore and Believe used their newly increased leverage in negotiations with digital services including Spotify and Tidal to improve their services for their artists.
Also in 2015, TuneCore expanded its presence in the UK and Australia announcing dedicated websites, including localized currency and content for each region. It also introduced its YouTube Sound Recording service to collect revenue for artists when their sound recordings are used anywhere on YouTube.
