this morning

i got in touch with a stranger who claimed working with major label here, he wanted to hear my music to decide i qualify or not

so i directed him to my site at

www.mp3.com/istyle, a site with music-play counter

the counter read 2513 since yesterday

An hour later he called back said he like me to compose a song in the style of my newage number

We made a spoken agreement and i decided to give this guy my best shot

but when i visited my site again

the counter still read 2513!!!

so Any chance of hearing music here without increasing counter play?

i thought all downloads ( hifi,lofi,total dl )should change it?

I begin to fear of someone trying to pull my leg!

What will you do in this situation please?

thnx in advance

Do NOT rely on those statistics in any way. :) Maybe listens from certain countries just don't count, hehe. Anyway, no point getting into it, don't let those clowns get you down. The main thing is that you get a chance with your song, screw the middlemen!

The counter maybe acting "shady". Even in this forum. When I had posted my 40th post, my 41st post still said 40. Go figure... Just make sure you register your copyright. Protect yourself before you do anything for anyone.

 

Keep jammin' ;)

Agreed with Bobro,

 

Screw the middle man, you can do everything more effectively yourself and yes, totally be proud that your music is being shared in this vast way. I am on mp3.com, it discusts me, the only reason I am on there is because it is easy for people to access and sample my works. But I'm looking for a new home for my art, perhaps just my own site. Just for exposure, mp3.com is most excellent. But they are all asses there, their "Premium Artists" get everything just cos they can afford the gawd-aweful expensive user fees, so un-fair. Oh well, if you are not that confident with your music I guess you'll do anything for it right? Anyways, the only way you get paid for each download is if those people are actually subscribed to mp3.com, if not the counter will just keep tracking the number of overall listens. I am not hoping for any money from that, I'm not a paying artist to mp3.com, I won't be getting natta.

 

If you click on that counter it will bring you to your stats and so called earnings, it's a laugh so have a good one...
