Introducing new tracking features on your Music Xray Song Presentation Pack
When industry professionals get songs from performing acts they like to see data. Lots of data. The Next Big Sound is delivering data by the bucket load and it just ended up on your Music Xray Song Presentation Packs.
However, YOURS MAY CONTAIN NO DATA and instead of seeing cool and informative graphs like those you see here, viewers (which may include industry professionals) may only be seeing a message that says, "Could not locate any information for the artist name supplied."
But you can change that and we HIGHLY recommend you do, especially if you are submitting songs to industry professionals or have some of your songs pending review. Any changes you make now will still be seen by professionals even though you've already submitted! Here's how you do it:
1. Click http://nextbigsound.com/# and set up an account at Next Big Sound (requires only email address and a password of your choice.
2. After that, you should be taken to a screen asking you for the "artist's name". If not, go back to the link provided above once you've opened an account and are signed in.
3. Enter the artist's name (it will have to appear identically in the artist name field on your Music Xray song info module so if you have not entered your artist name and song title in your song presentation packs you have to do that too before the graphs will appear properly).
4. Then enter the URLs to all the pages it requests (if you have them) such as your MySpace page, your Facebook page etc.
5. Once that is finished your Artist Statistics module on your Music Xray should work just fine. Let us know if you have any questions.
Having trouble entering your artist name and song title in your Song Presentation pack? It could be beacuse you never claimed it after you uploaded it during the submission process. Here's how you do that:
1. Find an email you were sent right after you uploaded your song from no-reply@musicxray.com. Check your spam folder too.
2. Click on the link that's provided in there and then follow the instructions. You should be able to log in and make changes to your song presentation pack at that point.

Music Xray looking for Music Bloggers!
We are looking for music bloggers to accept song submissions on Music Xray
At Music Xray we are looking for more music bloggers to add to our current list of music blogs. It is easy to signup and when you do you will be exposed to many new music artists through your posting on our site along with being part of our weekly email that goes out to artists along with further exposure through our opportunity feed. You will also be able to use our system for accepting song submissions which makes your life much easier. Here is a quote from Michael Jay on the topic and how he has been able to leverage the system to make his life easier:
"When my radio show was listed on Indie Bible last December, the amount of people that sent me emails and flooded my mailbox with CD's increased by 938%. I needed a way to help me organize my music submissions. After I joined Music X-Ray, I was able to filter out the amount of 'junk' music submissions and my service has become more streamlined and manageable.
I love Music X-ray's service, because their program helps me organize my music submissions all in one place versus having a folder in my email that I have to organize myself. Plus, I don't have to wait for CD's to come in the mail. It's all at my finger tips."

We also suggest that bloggers use our drop box to more effectively accept requests for new music that they can then play directly from music xray site. This is all free to do and you can read more here on how to do it: Accepting song submissions on Music Xray is easy.
Whether you’re a Grammy-winning producer, a music blogger, a label or just a guy with a website, you can begin using Music Xray to accept song submissions. With your free dropbox you have the following options:
· Accept submissions completely free (100% free for you and your submitters). · Charge a submission fee. · Donate any percentage of your fee to charity. · Promote your opportunities/your dropbox on your own websites and through social networks. · We promote many of the new opportunities to thousands of artists (we make sure they're real).
If you are posting songs you’ve received we have a couple different options. Like this http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mike-mccready/song-of-the-week---never_b_191081.html or like this http://song.cat/.

Detailed Conversation about Your Demo Song's Arrangement
http://www.musicxray.com/profiles/815
Ian Thompson-Bell, Owner of Ruff Records: I have been recording music since 1963, I designed mixing consoles at Neve in the 70s, and now I run a studio and build custom tube consoles. In that time I have worked with musicals, punk, rock, choirs, cover bands, pop and alternative.
I will listen to every demo submission received through Music Xray and provide feedback on song structure, arrangement, the use of instruments and the recording itself and how it is mixed. If I REALLY like a song I'll do a mix for you for free.
