Record Label In A Box has everything you need to set up and run a successful record label as a business

Record Label In A Box is a kit that comes with everything an artist or an upstart entrepreneur would need to start their own record label and dive head first into the music industry. The product comes in an actual physical box, as the name would suggest, which contains a notebook, a few pieces of paper and a USB stick. It may not look powerful at first, but the information stored on that thumb drive and online, is where the true value lies.

Depending on which package a consumer opts to buy, one of these boxes contains access to business services and online resources, all of which are necessary to creating a new company right. Buying into Record Label In A Box comes with ISRC codes needed to sell music legitimately, help distributing an album to hundreds of digital storefronts, contracts that have been drawn up by legal teams and that can be signed without the need to hire a lawyer, an online site that shows up-to-date analytics about how certain tracks or collections are performing, the ability to register for the Billboard charts, calendars and lists of opportunities, and plenty of other valuable features. Ditto can also register an LLC if needed, and the company follows up on all customers once a month to see how the record label is progressing and to see if anything else is needed to help the business succeed.

When the digital age hit, turntables took a back seat to compact disc players. Later, MP3 players and smartphones hit the scene. But the comeback of vinyl records has led to a renaissance for record players.

Mat Weisfeld runs VPI, a high-end turntable business his father started in 1978. Sales were sagging a few years ago, Weisfeld told CBS News’ Kenneth Craig, but today things have turned around — and sales are booming. “I’d say it’s easily doubled if not more,” Weisfeld said.

The Consumer Technology Association predicts turntable sales will hit $194 million in 2016, up from just $19 million 11 years ago.

Universal U.K. chief: “New Songs Have To Compete With The Beatles”

Universal U.K. chieftain David Joseph is bang-on correct here.

There’s been talk this year about the lack of breakthrough U.K. acts and stagnancy of the charts. What’s your response to that, and how do we measure success going forward?

Looking at this at a macro level, since we’ve moved to on-air, on-sale and global release date, the market’s grown. We went with the technology and the immediacy, and as a result, fans are getting what they want, which is the whole of the world’s music library in their back pocket on their phone. It’s also created a time of arguably the biggest music-discovery journeys ever, and the democratization of music—by which I mean when a new song is released, it has to compete on a streaming platform with a song by The Beatles. That creates wonders and challenges but, all in all, is good for the fan. There has been a lack of breakthroughs, but it’s not something I’m concerned about long-term. It’s part of a cycle of creativity and the democratization I mentioned before. It’s also honest and transparent, because the system is real, and we mustn’t fight against that. We’ll measure success going forward in exactly the same way as we’ve always done, which is by artists and music that break in local markets and travel globally. That hasn’t changed, although it is possible for artists to travel globally more quickly now. Breaking artists has never been easy, nor could it be.
