Everyone who listens to music needs to READ THIS!

[MrScorpio]

31. Has anyone ever heard of promos and giveaways?

I'm not going to say how many songs are in my collection… Let's just say that it's way more than 11,000. However, much of my music is obtained from the artists themselves on sites like Soundcloud and Mixcloud as GIVEAWAYS. Free music or pay the price that you want to pay, from FREE on up. I follow almost two thousand music folks on my Twitter account, quite a few of them have even given me their music to play on my show. Much of the music out there is actually leaked by the record companies and uploaded on to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

The music business today is driving towards a new paradigm of artist and producer promoted music, leaving the old model of record company restricted access behind.

Artists and fans are finding new ways to connect, through social media, that have never been seen before. More artists and producers, who in the past have had to depend on the record companies to publish their music, are doing it for themselves. The result is that music lovers now have a wider access to more varieties of music than ever before. Excellent music that would have never been heard in the past, you can hear it now.

So of course, this woman has 11,000 songs in her library… Good on her.

People need to wake up and smell the coffee… There's a new world for music out there. The old models are dying fast.
