Music creators rating the music libraries.
MLR Radio has been renamed to MLR Jukebox (I was over thinking this!). If you would like to be included please send me one or two MP3 tracks, 128k via yousendit.com (or something similar), to “music [at] musiclibraryreport.com”. Please name the file “yourname_title.mp3”. You may use your username if you don’t want to use your real name. Please keep the length to around two minutes or less.
You must be a registered user on MusicLibraryReport.com to be included in the player.
Something we all need is an easy way to tag our music. To the uninitiated tagging and describing your music effectively is critical. This will ensure that your music will be returned in the search of a database when a client is looking for a particular style and feel. Emmett is working on a solution and here is his comment from another thread.
“I’ve decided to look into developing software which might be able to do this and a couple of other handy bits and pieces for composers…we’ll see how it goes!”
Emmett is looking for feedback so here’s the place for it.
I’m working on a way to set up cue – track critiques. I’m thinking that a user (who would like a critique of their music) would log in, upload a track, enter their title, tags and description and get some feedback from folks here. Could be helpful. Any thoughts or ideas?
BTW I have not forgotten about the radio station idea:-)
That time again as the quarterly BMI payment was on June 24th. Always a fascinating exercise reconciling my BMI statement with my Tunesat detections. I’m much more incentivized now as I recently collected a decent size license fee for an unauthorized use of one of our cues. I would have never known about it if it hadn’t been for Tunesat. No, I don’t work for them but they do give me a bit of a break for my running their banner ad. I was a client before the break and would be if there wasn’t one.
OK back to the spreadsheet!
