<p>If I was an artist, I would have bitpay integrated to my Website, or direct people to an online store like Cryptothrift where my song would be listed and they can purchase it there with bitcoins. </p>

<p>What options are there for artists to market their Music in exchange for Bitcoin? How would an artist be able to directly sell his work to his fans?</p>

This is a fantastic question. I've got a client who is a well known artist and I've yet to push the Bitcoin integration because Coinbase essentially handles the whole situation. I'd love to know if being the *middle man* in setting up BTC payments was worthwhile or if Coinbase/Bitpay is the only real option.

It rather depends on if you are a signed artist or not. Signed artists have to go through the various processes of collecting and distribution, unsigned artists are free to set up a simple Bitpay account for example, and generate direct sales online. If not you could print a QR on your merchandise or something like that.
