Ambient and Electronica artist and podcaster Mark Rushton was selected to be a Sonific beta-tester because his CDs are currently available through CDBaby and pay-downloads can be purchased via iTunes.
Visitors to the 'Sonified' sites like music.markrushton.com and markrushton.blogspot.com are able to listen to, but not download, music from Rushton's album releases that are available through CDBaby and iTunes through an attractive and stylish player that's embedded in a web page.
Once a listener clicks through the picture of the album cover or the section called "Find Out More About This Song", they are presented with a "Sonific Gateway" that gives information about the album and the ability to buy it or find out more information at CDBaby or iTunes.
"All I have to do is send along a few lines of code to get my music embedded on somebody else's website or blog," says Rushton. "It's an excellent marketing tool for independent musicians."
