The goal of AMP Digital Media is to get your music online quickly and easily, without all the bureaucracy found at some of the larger digital aggregation companies.
AMP was founded by two record company people who realized, in dealing with some of the major digital stores, that many digital aggregation companies are slow to meet the digital needs of online music stores. The result: unnecessary delays in getting your music online. With over 25 years of combined experience in the areas of digital music distribution, marketing, finance and technology, AMP was created to correct this problem.
At AMP, we are ready to assist you and work with you to best serve your interests and the interests of your music. We created our client asset management system with you in mind, to help you understand the process of digital music sales and make it easy for you to get your music into digital music stores (iTunes, eMusic and several others) fast!
