Alternative Sales Sources For Your Music
Following, is a list of alternative sources that may be
interested in carrying your music for sale for their particular
clients and customers, if only they were aware of your music.
Most of the clients and customers are already "captive"

In some instances, I have also suggested certain genres that I
