The race for digitized music catalog is mostly over, though a few holdouts - including AC/DC, Kid Rock, and Garth Brooks - remain. But the front of the tail is mostly stocked, and Long Tail artists are now directly porting their content on the iTunes Store and other retailers, thanks to entrants like TuneCore.
Apple - and competitors like Rhapsody and Napster - used to announce thresholds, though the catalog numbers game is now less important. But on the more carefully-curated eMusic, milestones are still emerging. On Monday, the company stocked its four millionth track, a catalog fueled by more than 40,000 independent labels.
The latest batch includes songs from Liz Phair, NIN, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. "More and more labels are recognizing that eMusic is always working to help them increase sales of their catalogs, including songs that don't sell on other services," explained eMusic chief David Pakman. The company recently initiated a broader, 2.0-friendly site overhaul.
