While some might disagree with the practice, I’ve been doing it for years. Illegal? I doubt it but I’m not an attorney and you should consult one if you have doubts.

Yes, I did change the search engine. The old one was from Google and presented a number of problems. Many times logged in subscribers could not access the comments by entering the libraries that way. Also it was harder to find things I knew were on the site. Another problem was it was slowing down the rendering of the pages and making the site slower.

The new engine is very customizable and should eventually return more relevant results. It’s a work in progress.

The best way to get to the libraries is through the link in the upper right under “Access Music Libraries”.

You can switch back to the old style by clicking on “More” at the top right, and then “Switch back to Classic SoundCloud”.  Visitors, however, will see the new version.

I don’t know a lot about it, but ReverbNation is another site where you can post tracks.

it’s not consequential, you’d have to hope that the cuesheet was duly compiled and submitted and that is not always the case.

here’s actually when tunesat becomes useful, you have proofs to go after whoever has used your music without submitting a cuesheet… loads of work tho’

[Art Munson]

thanks Gary it was indeed very helpfull

all the best

Just found this excelelnt topic, so apologies for the late reply.

 

Like GarW I had a Pro souncloud account, however I found that people would only listen to the first 5-8 on the main page anyway, so I reverted to standard.

Getting people there through social to listen to a particular track however is a different thing and it does work.

I’ve been pplaying with a Twitter account for a while but I’d like to hear from GaryW on how he got people to follow him on twitter, us not being reality show stars and all that 🙂

before uploading I have been converting through editing software to 4800/24 bit

You are not achieving anything except increasing your file size. It will not increase the sonic quality. If I’m wrong someone will quickly correct me! 🙂

We don’t get into “Pay To Play” sites on MLR. It’s a long story that created way more controversy than I was willing to deal with.

[Art Munson]

Depends on your financial situation. I’ve seen prices as low as $100 per song. Personally I would avoid it as I prefer to keep my copyrights.

[Art Munson]

I can’t see that as being a problem.

[Art Munson]

BIGG ROME, thanks for that but this thread needed to be under the JP library listing. You had also used the library’s name specifically in the topic which I’ve asked folks not to do (since changed by me). In the future please put any questions or comments, dealing with a library, in the library listing. My bad as I did not catch it in time (trying to do too many things at once!).

To repeat:

Specific music library questions

Just a reminder that the forum is not a place for any specific music library related questions. Please ask them under a particular library’s listing. It’s the only way to build a knowledge base of composer’s experiences. Any forum questions about a particular library will be deleted.

I tried e-mailing you but you left a bogus e-mail address.

Thank you

Art

+1 euca!

[Art Munson]

Yup, same here.

[Art Munson]

What if, at some point, you wanted to sell your catalog or a big paying client wanted one of those songs exclusively?

[Art Munson]

My advice, look at the situation very closely and be careful what you walk away from.

Very true MichaelL and much better advice than mine!
