Music Websites Are Ramping Up Integration Says Wired Mag
Our music community is based on finding the best possible solution for artists to maximize profit as they sell music online
. We want music distribution to be something that benefits new bands making new music! Many music websites promise to deliver but people still download music illegally, not realizing how detrimental this is to the music distribution industry as well as the music community as a whole. We as an online music community need to combat the illegal trade of audio samples and find ways to help people know how to promote a band. How to promote a band as well as sell music online. We all listen to music but we rarely think how this is affecting the wider music community! People need to eat and the only way these days to make the any money is to sell music online. Many music websites now offer an embeddable music player that puts legal tunes on websites and blogs, for free, while compensating copyright holders. This makes it easier to listen to music, and helps musicians make money even in a time when its hard to sell music online. The music distribution industry is in a major crisis. Streaming audio samples is how most people now listen to music. Its hard for new bands to get anywhere if they cant sell music online. New music wont be made if new bands cant afford to eat. People must download music legally or at least make sure they are listening on music websites that assure musicians get fairly compensated. Listen to music ethically! Wherever these buttons are used and theres a long list of launch partners below people with music websites like eg. Spotify installed will be able to play a track, album or playlist wherever they find it. They can listen to music all over the internet, not just on music websites! A play progress meter appears on the webpage as the music website desktop or mobile app plays the music in the background. A whole new way to listen to music! Streaming on the web seemed broken, Spotify director of product development Charlie Hellman told Evolver.fm. There was no good, reliable, easy, straightforward way to post licensed tracks, albums and playlists on the web. The goal of this was to give a simple tool to the web for all music.
Before this, he added, posting music involved finding and posting MP3s, or YouTube videos that can disappear at any time, sometimes confusing users when they already have a song playing in music websites and another one plays in a webpage. That can lead to a frantic search for the page thats playing the song, as we know all too well. Listen to music online more easily! These music websites solve those and other problems by handling the music behind the web, whenever sites embed them. Businesses using this technology include The Huffington Post, ShareMyPlaylists, FanRx, Popdust, The Independent, Time Out, The Guardian, NME, Rolling Stone, Mashable, FanBridge, Wonderwall, The Fader, Chegg, Elle, Noisey.com, Entertainment Weekly, People.com and SPIN.com. These and other publications have always been able to post links to music on music websites The difference is that now, the music plays within the webpage where you found it, so you can keep reading instead of switching over to music websites. Crucially, these new music websites play button is also now part of the standard Tumblr dashboard. You can blog about music with zero technical knowledge a very Tumblr solution to music blogging. If you want to talk about music on Tumblr, you click Audio, type in the name of the track or album that you want to blog about, said Hellman. The music websites search results come up, you click the music websites track, and Tumblr will make a widget thats going to fit perfectly in your Tumblr theme. All you have to do is type in what you want to say about it and hit Post. Without ever having to know what an embed code is, or do anything techie, on one screen, you just made a music blog. Were anticipating that not only will a lot of individual websites start embedding licensed content on their sites, but also that the internet will embrace this and start making other tools on top of it, he added. In all of these cases, music websites pay the same per-play fee to copyright holders that it does when you play a song within music websites, providing a new source of revenue for artists even if its only a trickle every time one of these embedded songs plays. Other music websites like Rdio do something similar, but only includes 30-second samples unless you subscribe for $5 per month. Likewise, music websites such as imeem used to provide a similar service but it went under years ago, leaving the door open for music websites like Spotify to try to become the default streaming audio format of the web, music blogs and Tumblr. The new music players do for the rest of the web what Spotify and other music websites already do within Facebook: embedding a play button.However, it goes beyond the Facebook integration by offering customization options: a small version, a big version, a black version, a white version, track lists or cover flow for playlists. It also means that some artist pages on Facebook will now pay artists, the way artist pages on MySpace did not. FanBridge and BandRX, which make artist pages for artists and labels, are both Spotify play button launch partners. We want to be the soundtrack to the web, and this is definitely a big step towards that, Hellman told Evolver.fm. Music websites like Spotifys embedded music will play on any computer, smartphone, tablet or other device with the music websites app installed. That means its only available in countries where music websites like spotify is available; if youre somewhere else, the buttons appear as a note to that effect. In addition, to use the links on a smartphone, youll need the music websites app installed only possible as part of a premium $10 per month account or as part of the 30-day free trial. But if youre in a supported place with a supported device, the web just got a lot more musical. Says Wired Magazine.
