I've paid more dues than you could even imagine, so have a little respect.

I think you took that the wrong way. All I'm saying is that your comments make it sound like all you care about is how much money people have made off of Songtradr but that's not why everybody does it. Some people just do it for fun.

I'm sure you've been around the block a few more times than I have and I consider myself lucky to be doing music full time at my age. Yes I've heard of those places and have been to a couple of them. Not my cup of tea though. However, I have performed in England, Itally and China. Now those are some places I wouldn't mind returning to someday.

We used to play in places y’all have likely never heard off. Little Georgia towns they were smile

Oh yeah, the topic...we had three finalists this week. Nice given that our Americana styles are rarely requested.

Where abouts? My wife is from Savanah area. She probably knows some of those places.

Have you ever heard of Unadilla? They do a big motorcycle event there called the Angel City Rally. I would like to go one year.

I'm guessing a lot of folks from this forum submitted on ST for the 2018 country music listing. I sent a bunch, got one shortlisted, Montgomery 1947, who else put in for this one? Cliff

"We are looking for new hit Country songs that were recorded and released in 2018. In the message box, please confirm the year of the song to be considered."

That made no sense to us. New "hit" Country songs huh? Recorded and released in 2018 huh? So if our song is not a "hit" and was recorded in December we are twice outa luck?

I would not assume that the email notification time reflects when the song was listened to. They do work in mysterious ways.

Beat,

4.99 a month pro subscription to get enough monthly credits to really do anything.

I said I would give it year or so. It's a cup of coffee. But I won't do that forever if it seems their model is the 4.99, the postings are bait, and only an algorithm is "listening."

Yeah odd how it was phrased, I suppose recorded and released this year, new in other words and good enough to be a hit. That's how I translate it J&B. CLiff

The $5 per month is worth it for us for completely unlimited album, EP and single releases to all the major platforms. And done with very little hassle. Cheaper and easier than the other distributors.

Reading their blog, etc., does indicate some major placements and they are obviously pitching music from their genre playlists, etc., in addition to the "wanted" listings. And from a "buyer" perspective it's easy to find music that might suit your needs by searching or looking at the featured playlists.

We have three songs featured on short playlists under the roots genre. I discovered them by accident. We received no notification of it but it would appear that it was done by a human. And we are happy to be there.

My biggest issue is their wanky website and lack of a phone app. If they lack funding to do that right then you gotta wonder about their longevity. I hope they prosper as I think they have a good business model.

There may have been someone in one of their offices. After all some of the listings I've applied to lately have had 3am deadlines.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
