Why Do Musicians Still Need Record Companies?

With the proliferation of downloading & streaming of digital music...why does an artist still need a record company? I mean, if it's just a digital file, they could sell it themselves online.

Well done, Onhwy61.
Which one of your band-mates is going to do all the legwork and put up the money for a tour? Answer...the record label.

And after they are reimbursed and take their cut, your band will get a little spending money.
