I noticed recently uploaded tracks are now retired. Anybody else see that on their accounts.
Yup, same here.
I am curious what the difference is between “retired” and “removed”. My guess is it doesn’t matter much because “retired” would probably mean they aren’t currently pitching.
If you signed tracks exclusively with them and they “retire” those tracks, I would hope they would allow you to remove them from your exclusive agreement. It wouldn’t seem right not to.
And they really should have a gold watch icon to put next to retired tracks on your cue list. 😛
Everyone just needs to relax regarding JP. Let them do their song and dance around the South by Southwest music event by throwing all those parties in 3 cities and increasing their customer base and as a result, increasing our opportunities for more placements. Let these guys SELL! I absolutely agree that they should “retire” cues…or delete them or whatever you want to call it.
I looked at what they retired from me , and I support their decision to retire those cues 100%. I am going to retire them myself now. The market spoke and the market said “no thanks!”
I also would not bother inundating them with e-mails about “what does a retired cue mean?”…who cares? It’s obvious, those cues are not placing so they are “retiring them”. Exclusive or NE means squat…a retired cue is a retired cue.
@more advice. Are you sure you want to retire them yourself? I only ask because the 4 cues that JP retired from my NE catalog sell very well on a few RF sites.
I can see why they did not work in the JP catalog but they do well for RF. Maybe you want to try those cues elsewhere for awhile before you retire them.
Just sayin, one libraries retirement is another libraries early learning. (insert smiley face here)
+1 euca!
+1 euca, one thing I have come to realize in this game is a big seller on one site is no barometer of sales on another. As a NE it means nothing to me, but if I had exclusive tracks on there I think it would be reasonable to be told what “retired” means.
Good manners, communication skills, whatever you want to call it are part of doing business.
The “retired” cues are all in the RF library guys as of just a couple of weeks ago. I still do believe in putting my energy into cues that have a proven track record. By no means am I saying “hit the delete button” on retired cues. I personally am not going to funnel much energy into those. What’s interesting is that my strong performing cues at JP are also the same cues performing well in RF land…another reason to NOT go exclusive w/ JP. Certain cues are just sticky magnetic money makers…you gotta ride that wave….
>>> Everyone just needs to relax regarding JP.
The only concern I would have would be if the cues were exclusive because the ramifications then are much more serious. For non-exclusive, it’s pretty the same has having cues rejected by an NE library.
Tracks which said ‘retired’ are now back to ‘approved’.
