What does “indie” mean as it relates to MuzakID?
This term refers to an independent label. Independent music, often abbreviated as indie, is often connected to genres, scenes, subcultures, styles and other cultural attributes characterized by their independence from major commercial record labels. “Indie” also connotes an autonomous, “do-it-yourself” approach to recording and publishing.
What’s the difference between a major and an independent label?
The key differences between majors and indies are usually budgets, distribution and manpower. Major labels have larger pools of these assets.
What is the difference between labels and publishers?
Music publishers and record labels serve different functions. Publishers work with songwriters and song demos, the raw material of the music business. They deal primarily with the acquisition and promotion of songs.
