In order to achieve this objective, Netunes intends to offer select artists modest development budgets and promotional support. Most small Internet sites sell CDs at full retail. Many CDs offered for sale over the Internet have no tracks available for preview. Every track of every CD offered for sale at Netunes may be heard in its entirely before purchase. Most large sites such as CDNow and Amazon do not have home pages for each artist.
Many smaller sites have home pages for their artists but very few have a standardized format.

Variety and Exclusivity of Inventory Unlike sites which thrive primarily on set-up and monthly fees charged to artists, Netunes does not accept all product submitted. Unlike the huge warehouse sites, Netunes does not carry every major label CD ever recorded. Instead, Netunes seeks to promote a select group of artists and labels and strike a balance between an interesting variety of product and an overwhelming mass of CDs. Artist Relations Netunes is the only virtual record label endorsed by Mayuto Correa, a living legend of Latin Jazz and long-time activist for more equitable treatment of recording artists by the record industry.
