Re: off topic : setting up a myspace music site

2007-04-03 by pete_buchwald

Greg,

I had problems trying to convert my regular site from a standard myspace to a band 
myspace.  So I had to build a new page as a band.  Once I signed up as a band it wasn't 
too difficult.  

Audio encoding on MySpace is pretty bad, they take your .mp3 and re-encode it and it 
sounds pretty bad.  If you're serious about using it for distribution consider monitoring 
the final myspace results and mastering/mixing with their encoded version of your songs 
as a reference.

MySpace seemed to use a third party for your digital distribution.  I looked into it, but like 
many digital distributors they want a pretty healthy cut.  There  was something else I read 
about them that I didn't like ....... or maybe it was just the fact that I had already signed up 
with CD Baby (who in turn can put your stuff on iTunes).  

Let me know if there are specific challanges you encounter in setting up your band page.  I 
may or may not be able to help.

Pete
