Hey everybody, this is “Downtown” Johnny Brown, and you are listening to Music Sumo Podcast #031! Projects, inventory, taxes, and more... Oh my! It has been a little bit since we have done a show and I apologize, but things have been quite busy around here at the Music Sumo Studio. We hope to get things up and running regularly around here again soon though! Thank you for being so patient with us!
For those of you who don’t know by now, 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, anyone can call us up and leave us a message to play on the next podcast! If you would like to leave us a message at the Music Sumo Studio and request more music from a certain artist, please give us a call at (206) 350-5659. You can also leave us a message about how great we are, give us feedback on how to improve the show, let us know what is happening in your local music scene, let us know about artists we should know about, or just give a shout out to someone. Leave us a message about whatever you want! Just call (206) 350-5659 and leave your name, your contact information, and your message; and we will see about playing your message on the next Music Sumo Podcast!
We are also giving away another Griffin RoadTrip iPod FM Transmitter and Auto Charger! Be the third person to call in to the show and you will be the proud new owner of a gadget by Griffin! So, call in today and you could be listening to the next Music Sumo Podcast over the radio in your car!
