The iTunes Music Store has been gradually adding more independent music since its second-generation version was launched in October, 2003, but fans of such music have a new resource to turn to as well. It's called AudioLunchbox.com, and it launched last Halloween. Since then the indie-only online music download service has gone from 17,000 to almost 90,000 tracks and will expand even further in the next couple of months.

NOTE: If you use iTunes you can easily import mp3 format files bought from AudioLunchbox into iTunes for management and playback.

While the service handpicks the indie labels it works with, AudioLunchbox.com also encourages unsigned independent artists to sell their music as well. Payment of a $40 processing fee, signature on an artist agreement and an audio CD is all it takes to get your music online through AudioLunchbox.com. Unsigned indie artists get the same deal as indie labels -- 65 percent of the revenue generated on their sales.

Now you combine that with products like Garageband and I think you are going to see an explosion in indie music publishing.
