  1. It’d be cool if when you get an email notification of a response to a selected subject, you click the link and it takes you to that specific post so if you wanted to respond, you didn’t have to search through so many posts on that page in order to respond to it. Is that at all possible?

    • Yep, it would be cool. I’ve been searching a long time for a plug in to do just that but have yet to find it. Maybe someday!

    • Not sure if you know Pat, but if you click on the name under Recent Comments on the top left column, it will take you directly to that post. That’s how I find them.

  2. I just noticed that an email address is now required to enter a post. Wondering what the reasoning is, since posting still works by using a bogus email address.

  3. For at least a couple months now, whenever I come to this site a box pops up titled “Adobe PDF Document”. Inside it says “There is a problem With Adobe Acrobat/Reader. Please exit Adobe Acrobat’Reader and try again.” I click OK and the page finishes opening. Whenever I click on any link on the site the same thing happens before I can view the page.

    Does this happen for anyone else? This is the only site where this happens for me.

    • Hi Tim, Have you tried a different browser? Something in your configuration might need adjusting. What does the URL say when the box pops up?

      • Thanks for responding. I’m using IE, which is the only browser on my computer. The url that shows is https://musiclibraryreport.com. It worked fine until recently, and this doesn’t happen on any other site.

        Apparently I’m the only one experiencing this. I guess something went goofy somewhere. At least I can still access the site, so it’s not a big deal, just a minor inconvenience.

        While I’m here, let me express my gratitude for your providing this site. It’s extremely useful and I really appreciate all the work you put into it.

  4. These are not all issues that should be included in a ratings. Basically, you are asking people to compare things that may not be the same mechanics on each site for various purposes.

    Example- Ease Of Metadata Input (This is totally misleading as something to vote on since some companies do not want artists to upload their own metadata and prefer to do the heavy lifting for them. Why would this be a quality for voting, since many people here don´t understand the difference.

    Asking artists to vote on specific like how much money they make is like asking the canvas painters which gallery they sold the most art at. Much will depend on the artist first and their quality. But then a good gallery and sales person with connections to art buyers can have a major impact on success, much like a music licensing company. However, a good gallery spends a long time cultivating those connections and has the rollodex of buyers that trust them. If they try to make sales for artists that don´t fit the buyer´s interests, eventually the buyers lose trust. However, if the artist is patient and stores the art in the galleries warehouse and the sales person, knows it is there… then when a new buyer comes in and the sales person suspects it is a good match, then the sale may be completed. No gallery has enough money_space, to have all their´painters displayed every week, so some have to be patient. Meanwhile, though even the painter artist should be spending time meeting new people and doing things to get new followers, so when the painter says to the gallery, I have a large following of potential buyers, please hold a party and I will invite them all, then the gallery may display the paintings again and during the party, the artist´s followers, may get to buy the art from the gallery.

    in the music business, many of the artists spend a couple years making some music, upload it to a bunch of places and then blame the licensing company for not giving them free money back for all their free or cheap committment. Artists that are most successful are touring and gigging and spending a lot of time improving their music. Here, I read a lot about artists who uploaded hundreds of pieces over a year ago and can´t believe that they are not getting much back.

    Perhaps the people here need to think more about partnering with their favorite sites and help promote the site to potential buyers. Perhaps they need to ask what they can do to help get more recognition and attention and try to learn what is wrong or realize that they need to improve their quality or unique sound.

    Intentions of the new system are good, but I think it is now more difficult, not less to compare apples to apples with the new voting criteria.
    Thanks,

  5. Thanks for keeping the older system ratings available. The old ratings are valuable to those of us who are new. We won’t have to wait till the new ratings fill up again just to get an idea of what people think of the various libraries. I hope you leave the old rating up until you the new ratings catch up a bit. The old ratings aren’t old to those of us who are new here and much better than blank ratings for sure.

  6. Hi Art,

    Just curious – is there any way to show a list/widget of the latest submitted libraries? Maybe I’m being stupid, but I actually just don’t see a list of them anywhere?

    Cheers Art 🙂

    • Hi Emmett, In the right hand column, under “Newsletter Sign up” is a section titled “Recent Posts”. Every listing is a “post” so that’s where you will find it. Of course if I make a post, that’s not a library listing, that will show up also.

    • In a similar vein, I would find it useful if a library’s listing would show the date that it was added.

      When I discovered this site a few months ago, I methodically went through most of the listings to see which might be worth pursuing. I would like to go back and catch up with what has been added since then, but there are so many listings, it’s hard to remember which ones I’ve already examined and passed on. Seeing when a library was added would help streamline such periodic searches.

      Thanks.

      • The only problem with that is I don’t like seeing “stale” dates on web sites. Best thing to do is use a spreadsheet or database to keep track of everything.

    • Got the erroneous moderation fixed. One of the banned words was too small and was triggering a larger word that contained the smaller word. Yikes! Now to fix the darned comment tweeter.

      • Hey Art,

        It tweeted once after you fixed it (Latin Pulse Media) and not again since then. It sure is easier to keep current on Twitter. Hope it is an easy fix.

        • It seems to tweet from a post (that plug in uses an API) but not from a comment (that plug in doesn’t use an API). I did try another plug in but that didn’t work either. I was checking Twitter’s support page and people are having similar problems so I think it’s on Twitter.

  8. Ps. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s not post length but a censored word list where posts that contain ‘offending’ words require moderation… 😉

    • In the last few days a couple of things have gone awry. One is that the automatic tweeting of comments has stopped and some comments are going to moderation that should not be. Theoretically they only comments that would be “moderated” would be those containing profanity and those with more than 2 links but that is not the case recently. Probably an updated plug in that’s playing havoc. Trying to chase it down.

  9. Hey Art,

    Just curious…is there a word limit after which posts automatically get submitted for moderation? I wrote two longer ones that showed as “awaiting moderation”, then a short ‘test post’ which went straight up.

    Cheers.

  10. Hey Art,

    No tweets since Sept. 1. I thought things must be slow because of the holiday weekend, but when I came here there were lots of posts since the 1st.
