Music Ish: Reverb Nation for the Artist

Posted By Kiva on March 1, 2010

In helping a friend with some music portability, I’ve decided to post a little bit about Reverb Nation.

I first signed on with RN because I stumbled across their linkage with Facebook. I signed up for curiosity’s sake and when I logged in, I was highly impressed with all the tools they’ve made available. (You can sign up as an artist, management, a label, venue, and/or a fan.)

It’s like Facebook for music, only better, so I’ve decided to share a tutorial/review of the place from the ‘artist’ perspective.

Proprietary

Posted By Kiva on February 27, 2010

So, as has been mentioned, I’m working between Ubuntu and Windows. Ubuntu kicks ass but I’m stuck with Windows, as well, for a litany of reasons. Proprietary software is one of em.

I’m working on some music uploads and I decided it’s time to eliminate the issue of having ‘unknown artist’ pop up on a pressed up CD. It’s just not cool. Research led me smack into the fact that I can’t upload the music information unless I’m using Windows. The new owners of the CDDB won’t allow projects like MusicBrainz or freeDB access to their database. What a waste! Shame to think that CDDB started out free with people being able to send emails straight to the guy who actually started it!

Bad form, Gracenote, bad form.

Music Ish: Sade

Posted By Kiva on January 27, 2010

I’ve loved this woman since my early teens and I can’t help but turn up this particular song any time I hear it (it’s one of the few highlights of my radio listening experiences!):

Sade, Soldier of Love.

Music Ish: #NowPlaying – I Am

Posted By Kiva on January 17, 2010

I’ve loved me some Mary J Blige since – and gosh I’m gonna feel old for this – nineteen ninety…two?

Real Love was my JAM!

Not too sure what I think about her new CD, Stronger with Each Tear, but I like this single:

Can we say ‘uh huh!’

I knew we could!
