I know I caught myself trying everything with such a DIY approach that I was ignoring some effective services and burning out at the same time. Im thinking about trying Jango, music reccomendation services based on artists you sound like look really promising. Might shell out the change.

It's always great to find articles like this, where the author put some time into doing it right, analyzing the situation, and putting all the relevant information in one place. I'll be forwarding this to a lot of people this weekend. Awesome breakdown.

Ian - that is amazing news. Are you able to track the stats from Pandora to your iTunes account or are you going more on an assumption? I assume the latter, but hey I'd love to know if there are numbers to pack it. And yes I agree you would be crazy not to invest in Pandora (or Amazon for that matter).

I have an artist who has a tiny unknown record that sold less than 400 copies on it's release, but we now do a sick amount of sales every month on itunes in the US (for a UK artist) - and I know it's all down to the genome on pandora suggesting it to people and them loving it and going over to Itunes to buy. You'd be an idiot NOT to have your material on Pandora - FACT! I'm writing a post at the moment about tying Pandora and itunes together to beef up your sales - give me a week to finish it as I am a little busy, but it'll be on the blog as soon as I can get to it!

You take the news in music, and filter it down to the stuff that really matters to artists - what to do about it! You don't just take a side in the debate everyone's talking about, you take the side of the musician who's looking for opportunities and who's ready to take action...and you recommend those next steps. Practical, and thorough - keep it up dude! You know what I like best about your style Greg?
