The Podsafe Music Network was officially announced to the public on last Friday's Daily Source Code and after spending several days messing around on it, I have to give this thing a 5 star review. It's really truly an amazing resource, for both the Podcaster and the Musician. For the Podcaster, we finally have the ability to easily find and play Podsafe Music to our heart's desire. For the Musician, there's now the ability to publish your music in an organized method, and most importantly, to allow your music to propegate throughout different Podcasts.For unsigned artists, this marks the true beginning of a revolution. In the past, being an "indie" musician meant having to go from gig to gig, and praying to be played on the local college station. That was really the only way for the word to spread about you. With Podcasts, we now have a mass distributed method of exposure. It's like Syndicated College Radio. The Podsafe Music Network puts it all under one area, and best of all they "get it" when it comes to the balance of making money and providing a service.
Awesome. Three thumbs up. 5 Stars. Great job boys, keep it coming.
1. I would not restrict it to podcasters. Also radio hosts will love this page because it makes it easier for them to discover good, new music and give the feedback "i played it".
In my case, I do have also a community radio show besides my podcast - my podcasts don't use music, but the radio show does. And I would like to have good music but not chart hits.
So a site like this which makes it easy for me to get new music is great - and besided that I think it will be nice for the artists being played on a German radio station also. :))
