Wow that IS good! So I guess you're hinting that TOL could be a part of this.....?

I would LOVE to see TOL on there...go to the site and read up on the submission procedure if you want...

MAGNATUNE SUBMISSIONS

I'll lobby John to put you up there. Could be very interesting/profitable??!! I hope so...I do know I've sold 45 CD's in 3 months there...not lighting the woods on fire, but it took me a year to sell 102 at MP3.com....so I'm on track to double that WITHOUT this new deal. Maybe this deal will make it multiply much faster?? :thumb

CONGRATS SEISMO! :nw

The CD thing really interests me...where do you have your CD's on the Net and how did you achieve such good sales! (besides being incredibly talented, hard working, and dedicated to your craft) :yo

Hey Mark!!

Mikey J has my what I call my "Hard" copy CD's at GMM; they have done fairly well....but at Magnatune, if you go and check it out, the principle is for people to buy the songs and download them to burn for themselves, so they are not literally buying a "Hard" copy CD, just your songs to make one from. John has sold 45 "CD's" (360 songs of mine) in this fashion for me in 3 months...for $8.00 US to $10.00 US per "CD"....everybody that bought the songs bought them all for each "CD" so far...or people can buy 1 song if that's all they want....price is $1.00 US minimum....the buyer can pay you more if they really like it....John gets 50%, I get 50%....he charges you NOTHING to become a member artist, no setup fee, and no monthly charge.. You can't lose...only gain.

YOU need to submit....I think he'll like your stuff....just use the link in the above post to check it out.

Internet FTP Uploads

Upload MP3s to ftp://ftp.magnatune.com/incoming/.

Please send us at least 30 minutes of music (entire albums are best). The more music you send us, the more likely we are to accept you. We prefer 128k MP3s or better.

Please put your band name in the file names you upload.

After uploading, email submissions@magnatune.com with your band name on the subject line and the song names in the message body. Include a telephone number.

Sadly, for about 20% of the music that's submitted that we really like, we can't determine who submitted it or can't reach them, and can't sign them up.

Don't worry, the FTP upload directory is write-only: no-one else will be able to download your submissions.

Web sites with MP3s

Send an email to submissions@magnatune.com with your band name on the subject line.

Whenever possible, include links to each song or to a playlist file or web site that makes listening easy (for example, mp3.com, IUMA or your MP3s web page).

We get over a hundred submissions per week: please make our job easier and point us directly to where we can hear your music.

Postal mail

Send CDs to: Magnatune Recordings (attn: submissions), 2070 Allston Way, Suite 102, Berkeley, CA 94704 USA.

Please write your contact info on the cd itself. Include your email address and telephone number.

We will listen to you

We listen to every single submission.

Because of the volume of submissions we receive, we only reply to the bands we want to sign up.

We sometimes get as much as a month behind in listening to submissions, so please be patient.
