Indies get a bigger slice of Apple pie

You should sleep better tonight knowing that the proceeds from the next Indie track you buy from the iTunes Music Store will help feed a starving artist.

Digital Music News says that Apple has raised its wholesale payout on iTunes Music Store downloads to seventy cents per song, bridging the gap a bit more between independent and major labels. This should be heralded as great news for independent artists and will hopefully attract more of them to the iTMS.
