Music Sumo Podcast #030

Featured Artist: The Trespassers Tracks: Splinter Creek Breakdown Roots & Stone B Miner Swing Coyote's Last Stand Hey everybody, this is “Downtown” Johnny Brown, and you are listening to Music Sumo Podcast #030! Music Sumo is an independent online music store dedicated to promoting and selling all independent artists’ music over the internet at www.musicsumo.com. Music Sumo is aimed at assisting independent music artists, in further promoting their careers through distribution, marketing, and promotion on the internet. Artists are now able to sell their CD’s and .mp3’s online, advertise upcoming shows and releases, and be featured on Music Sumo’s regular podcast. Some of the key features that we have incorporated into the Music Sumo webstore are: • A website where your fans, and the general public, can come and buy your CD’s and .mp3 digital downloads. • A place for customers to leave reviews of your music. • An event calendar so you can let your fans know about your upcoming gigs, CD releases, and more. • A bulletin board system that you can use to get questions answered about the music industry, as well as help others. • A chat room where you can interact with your fans and other musicians in realtime. • A way to further promote your band, music, and gigs through links and banners. • And more!!! What’s that you say? Digital download sales on Music Sumo?! Yes, that’s right, we finally have started incorporating digital downloads into the store! Yup, Music Sumo can now encode artists’ submitted music to sell and promote on the Music Sumo webstore at www.musicsumo.com! All .mp3 digital downloads are only $0.99 each, and they are DRM-free, which means that you can play them on all digital media players and can share them with your friends and family as much as you like! We are also encoding the files at 256 kbits/s to make sure that all of your favorite music sounds great! At this time we only have files from The Trespassers, but we are starting to add more and more music files from your favorite artists, so come on by MusicSumo.com to check out the great deals on digital downloads or to submit your music today! With the addition of the digital downloads, fans may now start to sample every song from an artist's album. We have decided to change the length of the individual sample clips in the store though. All music samples in the webstore are now being shortened from two minutes down to only 30 seconds. We feel that this better complies with the current overall industry standards, and allows us to store more samples of your favorite artist's music on our servers for you to sample and enjoy for free. Of course, the new digital downloads are not the only new thing at Music Sumo. We now have a new Apple Dashboard Widget available for download! The new Widget enables users of Apple’s OS X to listen to the Music Sumo Podcast from their Apple Dashboard. You can even have it run in the background so that you can listen to the Music Sumo Podcast on your computer while working on other things! If you are an Apple user running OS X, download the new Music Sumo Podcast Widget today from the Music Sumo homepage. The link to the Widget can be found on the right-hand side of the page.
