Is anyone here familiar with NOISETRADE? I found it from a link on an artist’s web page where there was a 5 song sampler for a free download. It appears to be a place for people to post CD’s or mini CD’s of their work for free download just to try to get some exposure. Feedback please. http://noisetrade.com/

Hi Bob, I’m getting emails and some music from NoiseTrade. Everything is free and legal. They suggest that you give a donation if you like the download. I personally have only liked one DL. It was a Hammond B3 compilation of songs from various artists. The others that I have heard are geared to modern alternative rock/folk listeners. But I’m still going to look there, as it doesn’t cost a dime.
It is a safe site to go to.

The reason you can walk into any Sams Club and get free samples is because they know people are more inclined to buy after they try. It costs them to provide free food, but it doesn't cost the artist to supply a limited number of bits and bytes.
Consider Lindsey Stirling's dubstep video that is freely available on Youtube and has gotten over 27 million hits.... the free exposure has surely sold a lot of her music.
Naturally, if your music sucks making more people aware that it sucks won't help you sell it. But if it is really compelling... and if people have an easy and free way to hear it.. I would think that would work to the artist's advantage.

FWIW, I just downloaded a 5 song sampler of Elizabeth Cook from NOISETRDE and it was quick, easy, free, legal and clean on the scan. http://noisetrade.com/elizabethcookThis may be a site some of the PG forum members want to look into if you want to provide some music for free with the possibility of getting a donation if someone likes it.

I guess this shows how little people pay attention to my posts. I booted and hollered about Noisetrade here last November or so. I've probably downloaded 100 albums and really like about 15.

I don’t remember your post about Noisetrade. If I did, I wouldn’t have reposted it.
Just from my standpoint, I’d place you in the top 3 of the best people to look to when needing technical advice.
I backed into it from an episode of “Weeds”! Go figure!

Rockstar_not, I always read your posts and I have learned a lot from them. Thanx for that!
My main problem is that I have CRS

CRS? There are many possibilities for the meaning of that (several would make good band names): http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/CRS

BTW, there are thousands of albums on Noisetrade. How does one go about selecting the best?
Here's my very unscientific method which I learned from a friend who has the 2nd largest CD collection of those in my circle.
He used to buy his CD's based on unique album art - prior to listening. His premise was that if the artist didn't care about presenting something interesting on the cover, they were also likely to avoid putting something interesting from a sonic perspective in the music.
I do the same with Noisetrade. My success rate I would say is 10-20% for 'keepers'.
BTW, my favorite album from the past 5 years or so was on Noisetrade for about a year: Josh Garrels' "Love And War And the Sea In Between". That such an epic and expansive true album was written and recorded and produced in a home studio is an example to anyone that thinks they cannot produce grand art in the home.
I'm fairly sure this was the album that I mentioned here back in 2011.
