ALLMUSIC.COM
This site is, among other things, a huge database of who’s in the credits of all label released albums, as well as a number of indie projects. [Except they NEVER list the string arranger! :-( ] Anyway, you need to send them a physical CD, and then hopefully they will catalogue it and you’ll be a part of their database. The practical benefit of this is that Pandora only gets their summary info about artists from allmusic.com. So IF allmusic.com should decide to have a staff member write a review of your CD, and IF Pandora should add you to their playlist, then Pandora will actually have some info about your project for anyone who’s interested. Plus being on allmusic.com makes you seem more legit.
[Hi all, Ellen here. I've decided to take a very long handout that I created for my college students and break it down into a series of blogs. This is a summary of what I know about promoting yourself and your music online. If you or someone you know is a self released artist who doesn't necessarily have a plan of action after the CDs are manufactured, subscribe to this blog and read the series. I'm breaking it down into bite sized portions. ]
