Just as people who publish books on the web are "self-published",
I would describe people who release their music on the web as
"self-released".

Maybe you're looking for a term that differentiates between
people who release exclusively in formats that are intangible
from those who release their own CD's as well (or authors who
get their e-books put on paper through Lulu or CafePress), but I
myself don't think that distinction is necessary.
