Title: Are you on Spotify?
Post by: kevysc on December 31, 2017, 10:19:51 AM
I would like to put together a playlist with sample songs from any forum artists on Spotify. Can you post your artist link and suggest a track for inclusion? Besides personal use, I'm hoping I can also use it to help promote the forum ...

For starters, I am listed as a solo artist as Kevin ISM :

https://open.spotify.com/artist/0j9p7CyqOBHWKiIFFIqfO9

And also with my band, History of Trust:

https://open.spotify.com/artist/6yCn85KZ0ZhrPBvuJT0MsM

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi Kevin

I've bookmarked your links, and just listening to some of your tracks now. Liking what I hear so far!

My album is here https://open.spotify.com/album/2CA5pcQ1j0sfsM9djWZt9Q - suggested playlist track is 'under the bed'

Since Paul (Wicked Deeds) didn't suggest a song for the playlist, I would like to humbly suggest 'sing' from his excellent album.

Can I also suggest that we all follow one another on spotify as this will increase our individual exposure.

[edit] since Todd didn't suggest a playlist track either, might I suggest 'c'mon angel'

Mikey, I'll bookmark your link too. I've followed you all too :)

I'd be interested to know how much was paid to be on this platform?

Post by: tone on December 31, 2017, 08:36:50 PM
Hi Alan

There's a thread in the bar about this from a few days ago called 'amuse'

Wicked Deeds posted this link http://aristake.com/post/cd-baby-tunecore-ditto-mondotunes-zimbalam-or which offers a great comparison of all the companies who provide this service. Prices range from free to £40+ per year depending on additional services etc.

Hope that helps

Yes, I'm using the Amuse route and have releases scheduled for Jan 5th and 12th. Will report back. Incidentally anybody know exactly what revenue you get from a stream ? I think it's something like 0.0001p. Cheers guys and HNY to all  :)

Yo Kev, it would be cool to be on your list.  My band's page is here...

https://open.spotify.com/artist/3CP1BK2QZ4mjsjBKZ8fmm9

And our best Spotify track is probably "Black Disc Signal" here:

https://open.spotify.com/track/60iPFvq4Gy2d5gSQFLSoYW

Thanks for taking this initiative.  I will now take Tone's suggestion and follow everyone else.

Hi guys, I think this is a great idea, I've followed all of the links posted here and followed everyone, and will start choosing a few tracks from each to make up playlists, and I will tell Andy so he can do the same.

Alan,
We used Distrokid to publish the tracks, they charge from about £15 for the year, and they upload them to all of the popular streaming sites and collect the royalties for you

Many thanks I have added that track (I already had Rebound, but I've replaced it ....over time, I will add more than 1 track from each artist, but for now, I'm keeping to one per.)

By the way, don't forget to follow the playlist as well as the individual artists ... that helps it's ranking!

Yes, Spotify requires you to have an account in order to listen. They used to have a free account option where you have to listen to adverts every half dozen songs or so, but I don't know if it's still available.

I believe the free option is still available: it also has some restrictions, such as what you can download ( vs play online) but it is still a great option.

We should encourage everyone here to be on Spotify and support our playlist: what's the best way to make this happen? A sticky in the new joiners section? Thoughts?

I have actually got one song on Spotify. I came across an ad (Tunecore.fr) a few months ago offering one single release for 1 year so took them up on the offer.....it's on Spotify, iTunes etc

Only today I looked into having my own artist page so I've started the process. Don't know what's going on with it yet but will let you know when I've got it sorted and join in the fun.

Hi guys, I've just been onto spotify and followed the guys from the newer posts, this is a great idea and we should all keep it up.

Kev, I see you have changed our track in the playlist, Andy was referring to the album which is also called Someone to Blame, so you can swap it back if you prefer Rebound, we don't mind which one you choose, we are just pleased to be included.

This is a great idea, and a chance to follow other members.

I'm on Spotify as part of a duo, Nex't'Nothin - https://open.spotify.com/artist/4N38aXo59J2iMZNQxu37PR

The song I would suggest is What Is Right - released as a single.

Here is the link to the only song I've got on Spotify at present.

https://open.spotify.com/track/5u01lYczHoDJCAhtxfwnBd (https://open.spotify.com/track/5u01lYczHoDJCAhtxfwnBd)

I'm trying to set up my artist page but can't seem to access it at the moment. I went through the 'get access' process....they said they'd get back in touch if I was approved. I then clicked something and got into it anyway. Saw that I needed a header image...didn't have time then. Next day knocked up a header image. Now can't get back on to the artist page again!

When I do I'll do the playlist follow thing.

Ta.  :)

I get my statistics from CD Baby, as Spotify doesn't give any real details.

We have 9 followers ( thought it would be more, so some must not be following) and you need 25 listeners minimum to get detailed play statistics. However, extrapolating from the number of plays I see for my tracks, I reckon between 10 and 30 plays in the last month.

Would love to see more, and it would be great if we could find a way to get more forum members to participate, even just as listeners. A sticky in the new joiners section?

With soundcloud there is a similar sense of community as here,where if you listen and comment on a track,the favour is returned. Plus,you get to hear a lot of good music.Spotify doesn't appear to encourage that same behaviour pattern,so it's difficult to see how more plays may be generated. Maybe it's just a platform and 'end of',if you are not already established,it's of little merit.

Yeah I think I've followed everybody on the playlist......can't say that this has been scrupulously adhered to by everybody else though!

As for stats. Detailed stats are a mixed blessing anyway aren't they? On Soundcloud I can pretend that my songs were listened to all the way through. On Bandcamp I can't hide from the fact that they get skipped more often than not......if played at all.....perhaps no plays is better.
Title: Re: Are you on Spotify?

Yeah, Bandcamp is flipping ball breaking when you see that most listeners just skip tracks. Anyway stats are arse. The music has been released

The album I just finished has been released on Spotify today...Friday 13th  :P

https://open.spotify.com/album/1Qq2ZilhuXJwXTS2BUzM5f?si=UcKsBgjmQymzffuBICvdUQ

It was released on bandcamp on April 1st  :P

Sounds promising  :)

Best track is maybe “sometimes blue, mostly black” featuring the great John @pompeyjazz (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20269) Bradley

Thanks, John...I used “amuse” as you suggested...it was pretty quick and painless and looks to have done a lovely job for me...and cost me nothing  ;)

It's cool what Spotify has done and how much it has grown. However, I much more prefer to support smaller platforms like Bandcamp and Mixcloud because there you can find some really creative artists that are not as popular but should be given credit. Here I found a list of some other sites that might be more helpful for smaller artists:
