You can sell downloads of your songs and albums, which lets music fans own the recording rather than effectively rent it via a streaming service. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) reports that total revenue from digital music downloads in 2023 was approximately $434 million. While this is a sizable amount, it represents roughly 3% of US recorded music revenues. Nonetheless, you can claim a piece of the pie by posting your tracks on platforms like iTunes and Bandcamp.
