We just got new submission to the Music Sumo website, with Full Time Beret.
Full Time Beret delivers great new Contemporary Folk / Progressive
Acoustic music from singer/songwriter, Joel Cuzzi. Check out the new
album, Status Boundary, today!
Music Sumo is now starting to offer DRM-free digital downloads
of our artists for only $0.99 each! Since they are DRM-free, the files
can be played on any portable .mp3 player, and you can share them with
your friends and family! To ensure that the music sounds great we are
encoding all music at 256 kbits/s. Come and check out all of the new
.mp3's today! We have already added music from the Bluegrass band, The Trespassers, and we will be adding more and more artists to the store in the near future, so stay tuned!
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 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.
If
you are in a band, or know somebody who is, Music Sumo is looking for
new artists to add to the website! The music can be sold online via CD
and digital download, and can also be promoted on the Music Sumo
homepage and on the Music Sumo Podcast! We have also decided to extend
our promotional offer to all artists who submit their music throughout
2008. If you enter in the coupon code, "sumopromo" in the coupon redemption area at the time of checkout you will receive 20% off the submission fee, making it only $20! Submit your music today!
