How to get new tracks on the MusicStrands catalogue

~ December 17, 2005 at 18:43 (Views: 121)

I've just joined up and created my first playlist on MusicStrands. It's a set of tracks that - in my mind - resemble different aspects of the songs of Philip Jeays.

It would be great to includes some of Jeays' own songs in the playlist, but I couldn't find him in the database. I guess that's because he's not that well known, though I couldn't find Jake Thackray either, and he is better known.

Does anyone know if there's a process for submitting artists, albums or tracks to MusicStrands for inclusion in their database? (I wonder why they don't use the MusicBrainz database, which is very carefully put together and does include both Jeays and Thackray.)

Thanks in advance for any answers or suggestions on this - and in case anyone was wondering, I'm not related to, or even personally acquainted with, either Jeays or Thackray (the latter has been dead awhile!); I just like their songs.

Hey David: We are proceeding with agreements with many different catalogs that specialize in unusual and emerging artists, and our catalog is expanding every week. MusicBrainz wasn't on our immediate list -- but thanks for the suggestion!

In addition, our (MusicStrands Indy) program allows artists to put their own music into our catalog. We invite all members to let their artist friends know about this service, and encourage them to sign up (for free!).
