If you are paying for airtime - our normal rotation process is on override and you are in regular rotation 24/7.Ok.We use a weighted rotation. Meaning each song has a weight (rating) from 0-1001-9   No Rotation10-19   Rare Rotation20-39   Light Rotation40-59 Medium Rotation70-79  Heavy Rotation80-100 - Power HitGuess what determines what weight a song holds? You guessed it, how many unique requests a song gets from your fans!Each time a song is played - it is dropped 0.5 points.    Each time a song is requested, it increase 2 points. Even if a request fails because your song has been recently played - it still counts.So all the artists that do not have the request images or do not promote the station - if your not paying, your probably not getting played as often as you would like.. We know who you are - because everything is tracked. The next email about requests is going to show how many requests artists are getting. If your not on the list - your not getting requested.Point is - PROMOTE. Guess what happens when your song plays and a 1000 people are connected that have never heard of you? THEY ARE CURIOUS. After all - they are visiting a station they know only plays independent artists. THEY ARE SEEKING NEW MUSIC. They will probably want to know more about you.Put the fact you on are UnHeard Radio on all of your websites, blogs, etc..  Tell people!! It impresses them and creates word of mouth.If you are serious about making it in this business - sit back and think about how much time you may waste during the day. What could you of done to further your career? You have to live, eat, and breath promotions. Think of new ways to promote,  track your promotions, if something inst working whether you think it's a great idea, drop it. Try something else (Marketing 101).I get UnHeard Radio a million hits a month. I know what I'm talking about.We provide all kinds of ways to promote yourself, fact is - YOU have to do it. DO NOT rely on anyone to do it for you.My time is extremely valuable to me. If you would like a consult on pushing your music beyond your imaginations- $50.00 gets you 30 minutes of my time. Have a pen and paper ready - I'm going to provide you a ton of information everyone else is scared to tell you. They do not make money if they tell you how to do what they do. Just reply to this email and we can schedule a time after you send payment.Ya, I have a day job just like all of you. I'm a marketing consultant. I charge companies $400/hr and they pay it. I'm also a musician and I like helping other musicians. But they need to be accountable for their future - so it's not free.These kind of responses are kind of disappointing. Look..why should the artist pay you to play their music on your radio station ????...If you like some artists and their MUSIC...then play there music for free !!!!!!!!....basically you are forceing MUSICIANS to work for you and you charge them 19.. bucks a month !!!..and you wont play their music if they dont sighn up....and also your site is very confusing...to many codes..and to many things to do..MAKE it simpler already !!!! YOU choose us through SONICBIDS...so JUST play our DAM CD..ALREADY..cause i aint paying YOU !!!  - We sent you a promo code so you were not charged. Judging by your grammar and spelling - you probably did not read the email.I think that any radio station that is about talent should not be about money. All local radio stations do not Charge any artist to play their. In all honesty I do not understand why any radio station would. Without the music to play there is no radio station. - UnHeard Radio is a promotions service disguised as a radio station. The model works.We provide you content - I love this oneFirst of all, you provide us content? Ok. Let's think a minute here. A commercial artist provides content to a commercial radio station. Guess what that commercial artists has that you do not? FANS! -  Millions of them. They bring a commercial radio station millions of fans and then that radio station charges companies a fortune to spread there advertising to them. You have millions of fans? Let us know, we will pay you royalties.Second, did you really think the cost of playing music stopped at buying equipment and recording? If you did - quit now.Third, not be about money? Do you have any clue how much it cost to have the bandwidth needed to provide streaming audio at 128kbps (CD Quality, FM RADIO is only 64kps)? 10 people connected is a meg per second. Most of you do not have internet connections to support having even 10 people connected. How much does your internet bill run you? How much do you think ours runs to support unlimited listeners with burst connections?I know an artist right now that has spent half his paycheck on his music for the past 3 years. Guess what he has and you don't? Almost a million die hard fans. Think it was worth it? Sure you do -but are you willing to sacrifice your luxuries to do that?UnHeard Radio is a service to independent artists. Our players and pretty much everything we do is designed to get you album sales. Guess what - ALBUM SALES PAY MORE THAN ROYALTIES WOULD.This email piss you off? Good, act on it. I really do not care. I'm interested in working with artists that are not "know it alls" and want to get somewhere. Would I steer anyone wrong? No. You do well, We do well. Plus, I'm an independent artist myself - I have a life - a girlfriend (pretty much a wife) that is constantly pissed at me because all I do is promote you people. She wants more attention, sigh... I hope it's worth it - or I'll probably be murdered one day.The bottom line is, PROMOTE your music or get out of the business, unless this is just a hobby.I'm sure most of you spend more than $19.99 per month on soda. But dread at spending $19.99 a month to put your music in front of the biggest audience you will probably ever have. I don't get it.http://www.unheardradio.com/airtime.aspx - for the serious artists.Mark TowerUnHeard Radiowww.UnHeardRadio.com  A ton of people have asked about this.First.

If your not on the list - your not getting requested.Point is - PROMOTE. Guess what happens when your song plays and a 1000 people are connected that have never heard of you? THEY ARE CURIOUS. After all - they are visiting a station they know only plays independent artists. THEY ARE SEEKING NEW MUSIC. They will probably want to know more about you.Put the fact you on are UnHeard Radio on all of your websites, blogs, etc..  Tell people!! It impresses them and creates word of mouth.If you are serious about making it in this business - sit back and think about how much time you may waste during the day. What could you of done to further your career? You have to live, eat, and breath promotions. Think of new ways to promote,  track your promotions, if something inst working whether you think it's a great idea, drop it. Try something else (Marketing 101).I get UnHeard Radio a million hits a month. I know what I'm talking about.We provide all kinds of ways to promote yourself, fact is - YOU have to do it. DO NOT rely on anyone to do it for you.My time is extremely valuable to me. If you would like a consult on pushing your music beyond your imaginations- $50.00 gets you 30 minutes of my time. Have a pen and paper ready - I'm going to provide you a ton of information everyone else is scared to tell you. They do not make money if they tell you how to do what they do. Just reply to this email and we can schedule a time after you send payment.Ya, I have a day job just like all of you. I'm a marketing consultant. I charge companies $400/hr and they pay it. I'm also a musician and I like helping other musicians. But they need to be accountable for their future - so it's not free.These kind of responses are kind of disappointing. Look..why should the artist pay you to play their music on your radio station ????...If you like some artists and their MUSIC...then play there music for free !!!!!!!!....basically you are forceing MUSICIANS to work for you and you charge them 19.. bucks a month !!!..and you wont play their music if they dont sighn up....and also your site is very confusing...to many codes..and to many things to do..MAKE it simpler already !!!! YOU choose us through SONICBIDS...so JUST play our DAM CD..ALREADY..cause i aint paying YOU !!!  - We sent you a promo code so you were not charged. Judging by your grammar and spelling - you probably did not read the email.I think that any radio station that is about talent should not be about money. All local radio stations do not Charge any artist to play their. In all honesty I do not understand why any radio station would. Without the music to play there is no radio station. - UnHeard Radio is a promotions service disguised as a radio station. The model works.We provide you content - I love this oneFirst of all, you provide us content? Ok. Let's think a minute here. A commercial artist provides content to a commercial radio station. Guess what that commercial artists has that you do not? FANS! -  Millions of them. They bring a commercial radio station millions of fans and then that radio station charges companies a fortune to spread there advertising to them. You have millions of fans? Let us know, we will pay you royalties.Second, did you really think the cost of playing music stopped at buying equipment and recording? If you did - quit now.Third, not be about money? Do you have any clue how much it cost to have the bandwidth needed to provide streaming audio at 128kbps (CD Quality, FM RADIO is only 64kps)? 10 people connected is a meg per second. Most of you do not have internet connections to support having even 10 people connected. How much does your internet bill run you? How much do you think ours runs to support unlimited listeners with burst connections?I know an artist right now that has spent half his paycheck on his music for the past 3 years. Guess what he has and you don't? Almost a million die hard fans. Think it was worth it? Sure you do -but are you willing to sacrifice your luxuries to do that?UnHeard Radio is a service to independent artists. Our players and pretty much everything we do is designed to get you album sales. Guess what - ALBUM SALES PAY MORE THAN ROYALTIES WOULD.This email piss you off? Good, act on it. I really do not care. I'm interested in working with artists that are not "know it alls" and want to get somewhere. Would I steer anyone wrong? No. You do well, We do well. Plus, I'm an independent artist myself - I have a life - a girlfriend (pretty much a wife) that is constantly pissed at me because all I do is promote you people. She wants more attention, sigh... I hope it's worth it - or I'll probably be murdered one day.The bottom line is, PROMOTE your music or get out of the business, unless this is just a hobby.I'm sure most of you spend more than $19.99 per month on soda. But dread at spending $19.99 a month to put your music in front of the biggest audience you will probably ever have.

(Technical Definition)A podcast is a digital audio file (usually MP3 or AAC) made available for download on the internet through an RSS 2.0 feed. The web address of the media file is contained in the enclosure tag of an item in the XML file. The enclosure tag was added to the RSS 2.0 standard in 2004 making podcasting possible.A podcast's RSS feed is updated each time a new media file is published. An aggregator for podcasts (such as iTunes or iPodder) is used to subscribe to the RSS feed. The software automatically checks for and downloads new audio files. The file can then be synced to a digital audio player.It is the convenience of this subscription model that sets podcasting apart from other audio available on the internet such as streaming and audioblogging. Podcasting makes it easy to create and disseminate digital audio content across the web.The enclosure tag can be used to any type of digital file, but not all aggregators recognize and download all file types. Vidcasts have started to emerge on the internet distributing digital video files.Podcasting offers a variety of content for listeners to consume how they want, when they want and where they want.Hopefully this definition contained enough big words to make it a sufficiently techie definition of what is podcasting?

This is really a terrible shame and a true waste of talent…. Before we get into that, I want to share a story with you, just really quickly. The story that I am about to tell you is so weird that I still think about it to this day, sometimes several times a day… And reflect on how much it has changed not only my life, but the lives of 99.9% of the top players in the music industry today…. Including many of your favorite artist. One day there was a huge, I mean huge *Secret* music industry meeting held, that attracted the attention of thousands of musicians, singers songwriters, label heads and others from around the world. It was one of the most fascinating events that most of them have ever attended, one where they learned the real deal on establishing industry connections, song writing, signing record breaking contracts, the formula to a guaranteed platinum song (yep even in this day of downloads) and most important to most of the attendees, they learned how to make millions, upon millions of dollars… And that was all on the first day (It was a 3 day event). Then the next day starts, and all of the attendees ae excited and looking forward to being taught more of the same great information that had learned the day before, but to their surpriss when they entered the room that the event was held the day before, they where greeted by a huge 100 foot x 100 foot sign that read… “Yesterday, the person who has been hindering your growth in the music industry has passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared next door.” In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that person who hindered not only thier growth, but the growth of everyone else who desires to make it in the music business. Who could it be they wondered? The excitement in the makeshift funeral home was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought - “Who is this person who was hindering my progress?” One by one the intrigued group of artist, musicians and executives got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless. They all got to stand near the coffin, and all ended up shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see themselves! There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: There is only one person who is capable of setting limits to your growth and IT IS YOU!Your life does not change when the head of a major record label changes, when the A&Rs change, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your husband or wife changes, when your location changes, when your money changes, when your status changes. No, your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs. Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses. Be a winner, build yourself and your reality. It’s the way you face life itself that makes the difference. You will never know what life has in store for you, unless you try. You could end up being the next, best music industry great… Don’t let that person within you die.. I would hate to see that funeral take place, especially when you know deep down inside that you deserve greatness.. The world desreves greatness, greatness in the form of your music and your talent. Make a vow right now, today to change, to challange yourself to be the best that you can be.. To limit the amount of time that you waste doing unproductive things or spending with time stealing individuals, to limit the amount of money that you waste on things that are not making you more money in return and then make a vow and say to yourself that “I Will Do Whatever It Takes to Make My Dreams Become My Reality”…. And the last step, the most important step is to actually do waht you just said in the the sentence above… Start off be getting the right help, their are tons of resources that you can get access to right here online or start with some of those that we provide, including the following; Learn to Write Hit SongsLearn How to Get Your Songs Played on the Radio(World Wide)Discover the Truth to Getting More Gigs and Performance RequestStart Your Own Record Label and Really Be IndependentProtect Your Music with the Correct Legal Forms and Music ContractsGet the Phone #’s and Mailing Address to Over 20,000 Music Industry Contacts Visit every signle one of the websites above, you will never know what oppurtunities await you, unless you are willing to give them a chance to present themselves.

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 01:00:06 GMT http://community.unheardradio.com/_Music-Biz-Great-Dead-You-See-this-Yet/BLOG/406244/68994.html unheardradio 2009-06-25T01:00:06Z UnHeard Radio [image] One of the potentially greatest in the music industry has passed and the sad thing is, that it did not have to come to this.. This is really a terrible shame and a true waste of talent…. Before we get into that, I want to share a story with you, just really quickly. The story that I am about to tell you is so weird that I still think about it to this day, sometimes several times a day… And reflect on how much it has changed not only my life, but the lives of 99.9% of the top players in the music industry today…. Including many of your favorite artist. One day there was a huge, I mean huge *Secret* music industry meeting held, that attracted the attention of thousands of musicians, singers songwriters, label heads and others from around the world. It was one of the most fascinating events that most of them have ever attended, one where they learned the real deal on establishing industry connections, song writing, signing record breaking contracts, the formula to a guaranteed platinum song (yep even in this day of downloads) and most important to most of the attendees, they learned how to make millions, upon millions of dollars… And that was all on the first day (It was a 3 day event). Then the next day starts, and all of the attendees ae excited and looking forward to being taught more of the same great information that had learned the day before, but to their surpriss when they entered the room that the event was held the day before, they where greeted by a huge 100 foot x 100 foot sign that read… “Yesterday, the person who has been hindering your growth in the music industry has passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared next door.” In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that person who hindered not only thier growth, but the growth of everyone else who desires to make it in the music business. Who could it be they wondered? The excitement in the makeshift funeral home was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought - “Who is this person who was hindering my progress?” One by one the intrigued group of artist, musicians and executives got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it, they suddenly became speechless. They all got to stand near the coffin, and all ended up shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see themselves! There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: There is only one person who is capable of setting limits to your growth and IT IS YOU!Your life does not change when the head of a major record label changes, when the A&Rs change, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your husband or wife changes, when your location changes, when your money changes, when your status changes. No, your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs. Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses. Be a winner, build yourself and your reality. It’s the way you face life itself that makes the difference. You will never know what life has in store for you, unless you try. You could end up being the next, best music industry great… Don’t let that person within you die.. I would hate to see that funeral take place, especially when you know deep down inside that you deserve greatness.. The world desreves greatness, greatness in the form of your music and your talent. Make a vow right now, today to change, to challange yourself to be the best that you can be.. To limit the amount of time that you waste doing unproductive things or spending with time stealing individuals, to limit the amount of money that you waste on things that are not making you more money in return and then make a vow and say to yourself that “I Will Do Whatever It Takes to Make My Dreams Become My Reality”….

In response to the Insider’s post, a UMG representative confirmed the downsizing vaguely, stating that layoffs are taking place at various UMG units.At this point, details have not been confirmed and reports provide conflicting information. According to anonymous sources, Billboard reports that roughly two dozen employees were let go on Friday, mostly in mid- and entry-level positions. The A&R-focused blog Crazed Hits says that layoffs were focused on marketing and publicity, while industry publication Hits Magazine reports that marketing executive Robbie Snow and Paul Orescan were let go.The downsizing comes ahead of highly anticipated releases by Dr. Dre, Eminem, U2, and 50 Cent in the next few months. These artists are some of the biggest money makers in the industry, just as Interscope is one of the most-respected labels. But hard times are now hitting even the largest of companies, with layoff announcements in the past week by giants Microsoft and Sony. With little label support available, artists are really on their own these days. They must develop the expertise to manage all aspects of their business. Artist Force is here to help artists manage and build the business of live entertainment.

This is really 'phase one' of where we think we can go."All footage for Bonnaroo 365 will be taken directly from the festival's master tapes, and the audio is remixed from soundboard recordings. The goal is to have a large archive of performances on the Bonnaroo site that can be accessed through a wide range of distribution channels, ultimately including user-generated content."We have over 300 full sets that are line cut, iso-cammed, beautifully shot, and lots more audio multi-track," says Mayers. "Last year we filmed about 70 full performances."Over the years, Bonnaroo has offered a variety of different audio/video programs including Webcasts, broadcasts and physical product, and Mayers says they're all "opt-in" programs."We've been fortunate that a lot of artists want to participate," he says. "At the end of the day we need artist, publisher [and] label permission to do any of these programs. All of this is about relationships, and we really have a give-and-take there. We're really open with artists as to their usage of it, because ultimately it benefits us."Financial arrangements for future Bonnaroo 365 incarnations are still being determined, but right now the value to artists comes through the exposure. Bonnaroo has an e-mail list of more than 500,000 names to tap into."We feel we could become a marketing platform for artists, not just at the event but 365," Mayers says.
