A CD, $35.00(some will charge more, but it is usually under $100) to register and upload the CD, a UPC code - most distribution companies that do digital require 5 CD's to be listed for sale. Some don't charge the set up fee, but they have to approve you and they require a written agreement. It takes anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months to get your CD up and running.
I found ITunes to be the easiest, they took only 4 days with Sparkey and Friends Back 2 Basics: CD Baby: MICHAEL SPARKEY DRAKES: Sparkey & Friends Back 2 Basics
When you sign up with these companies you can select where your song is available for download, napster, playpay etc.
