| "Daylle Deanna Schwartz has conveniently packaged all you need to know to start your own record label in a very reader-friendly new edition. What took me over ten years to learn the hard way has been easily explained in Start & Run Your Own Record Label. If you're thinking about competing in the often-treacherous world of independent record labels, arm yourself with this book." - RYAN KUPER, Redemption Records In its first edition, Start and Run Your Own Record Label was an authoritative resource for anyone who ever dreamt of building their own record business from the ground up. Comprehensive, informative, practical, and accessible, the book covered every aspect of setting up, owning, and operating a record label. Since the publication of that edition, the music industry has witnessed a new era for independent record labels. While not profoundly different, new technology has made it easier and more affordable for practically anyone to record their own music at home and to sell it online and at performances. As a result, increasingly more musicians are finding it easier to achieve their musical goals. In the Updated and Expanded edition, new chapters are included to address such issues as resources for the business end of running a record label, getting exposure, exploring alternative markets for all genres of music, and maximizing the use of the Internet. In addition, all chapters are rewritten and more interviews with cutting edge experts on today's music market have been added.

This book is like a rollercoaster ride of interest. Some chapters are so slow and boring you think you might want to quit reading the book altogether. Then there comes a chapter that is just a wealth of knowledge. I am happy I bought the book and read it, but I am the type of person who loves to read every book on the subject I come across. If I had chosen this book over others, I would have been somewhat disappointed. If you are looking for books about the independent music industry, try "The Ultimate Survival Guide for the New Music Industry: A Handbook for Hell" by Justin Goldberg. It is an outstanding book, plus it comes with database of music industry information on CD ROM.

This is one of the first books i actually read from cover to cover on the music industry. It was a great buy along with a couple of manuals I purchased from Musicbrains.net entitled the Indie label Kit.

I HAVE started my own busines based on Time Swinney's Guide to Releasing Independent Records... but I bought this book recently & based on it's newer well described stuff, I found it the same helpful. The book is honestly a very interesting & amazing one with fluent writing & friendly experience sharing.
It includes a lot of stuff that are damn helpful to thos who don't have a clue about the business, but has left some very important basic & smiple details to be SOLD in the other title by the same author & has EMPHASIZED on the NEED to buy it!
Seems a bit "So-Much-BIZ", even oudda your Music Industry, Ma'am!

The book includes a fair amount of information about the current status of the music industry but some aspects are left untouched and people might get confused with all the technical terms present, overall the book doesn’t really go into any detail . “The Music Business: How YOU can make $500,000 "or more" a year in the music industry by Doing it Yourself!” by TY Cohen is more intuitive and gives a lot of in depth information and small tips and tricks and is overall easier to understand

Although I did enjoy reading the book, and would recommend to anyone,I would not count it as the only book in your library to get a label, of any size, started or in operation.
The author mentions how she made things work for herself. But, the methods keep on changing all the time, so what worked a few years ago, may become outdated advice today. This book doesn't cover enough on getting other artists on your label. Also, it doesn't cover on what forms to use for the different processes involved in running a label.
Again, don't buy this book as your only source of info to get your label started. You'll definately need more. Look at it as another source of reference.
