I’d like to know how much vinyl records used to cost in the early 1900s. Also, I would be interested in knowing how much they cost in the 40s, 60s, and 80s.

Thanks!

I assume that it varies depending on what sort of deal you have but what’s a typical percentage? If you fancy breaking down the CD cost into what would go to the retailer, label etc. then I’d be really interested to know. Do artists selling CDs at gigs take a larger percentage of sales?

Record labels that have a good reputation for releasing high quality folk metal. I know that Nuclear Blast is one, are there any other good ones? And what are some notable bands they have on the label?

What are the chances of vinyl records making a comeback and replacing CDs and MP3s?

Do recording artists record every song at full length? I was wondering if they have to record the whole song at once or if they take the best from certain sessions and run them together.

I want to start an underground record label. I however lack the knowledge of what to do first. Also as an underground record label would I have to pay taxes like mainstream labels?
Thanks,

I have a ton of vinyl records and would like to be able to put them onto my computer so I can transfer them to an iPod or a Zune so I can listen to them. How do you get music off of vinyl and onto a computer in Mp3 format? I have a record player and a computer, but no idea how to link the 2. Suggestions?

I’m writing an article about the current state of the music industry, and I need some definitive facts. Does anyone know how much recording artists make per CD on average (to clarify, recording artists that are signed to one of the major record labels). Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought it was a very very small amount (and that the major labels take the bulk of the revenue). Also, if you supply an answer, I need to see where you got your information (so i can include citations in the article).

Thanks!
