I would pay a one-time fee per release if I would have the option of my collaboration to be uploaded to Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple music, TikTok, etc. without me doing the legal and manual work of it.
I saw the last years if you are not on any of these, then the material is considered dead and gone. I know that SoundBlend is the intended way, however the industry is just mean, man.
So that's why I coined the idea: a reasonable one-time fee would be transparent to the users but would also mean income for Kompoz to stay.

Distrokid has great deals for multi-platforms releases

This. I have been using Distrokid for a couple of years. Its pretty solid.
oneheadedman commented 1mo+26dy ago
I think every 10 years I have enough material to release an album. Catapult Distribution does it for 25$ one-time fee. Distrokid would mean I pay 10years * 25$ dollars in the same time. That's my problem with Distrokid.

I believe other services are working on this. For example, "boombox.io" claims that that publishing and distribution is "Coming Soon," but it offers none of the collaborative features of kompoz. As kompoz originated in 2007, streaming services were not live yet. Personally, I would rather have the choice of distributors...and I believe that support and follow-up with third-party online distributors may not be an area the site owner wants to get into. (?)

Routenote.com is a "free to join" music publisher /distributor. No annual fees. Your music is distributed to 40+ different streaming services. The only cost to you is 15% of profits, once you reach $50 bucks in sales. Remember that Spotify is paying .0037 cents per stream... So, you're going to have to have 10's of thousands of streams before you see a dime... Music promotion is a full time job.

Yes promotion is key, I played The Game for a while pre-google youtube, pre-repost soundcloud & pre-photoID required facebook. Wound up here and to be honest went crawling back because I was addicted to those listens & likes, ultimately back here. It's just us here and I'm perfectly happy with that.

A service to pay for that brings my music somewhere else where also no one will listen this music ? Sounds cool ! I get a new /other Link to promote my work with a player to embed . Cool ! Oh wait ! The interested listener must join the Streaming Service first to listen that song complete that i promote somewhere on a Social Media site . And the listener with interest in listening must also pay that service to listen my Song over-there when he / she wants to listen without commercial adds . Mega cool too ! My Grandma who is listening sometimes to my stuff will be proud of me when i tell her that i have my music somewhere else and that we have both to pay now for something that we already had without any extra costs . No Brainer !

Anyone can listen to your song on Soundblend! There is no charge,cost or obligation associated with Soundblend! Send Grandma the Soundblend link. Did you not read my earlier post? Which part of FREE do you not understand? It is FREE to join Routenote. It is FREE to distribute through Routenote. There are no fees for the FREE accounts. There is a 15% charge on money made through streaming services. Pay Pal takes a small cut. Soundblend takes a cut, when you download. A music publishing company takes a cut. Here's how it works: 1) Mark the song Finished. 2) Release through Soundblend. (and Routenote) 3) Collect millions and retire early.
oneheadedman commented 1mo+26dy ago
PortlandKeyboards Sorry for the stupid question, I have looked at the FAQ and I am still not sure. Technically my collaborators and I own the recording we made. I have uploaded it into SoundBlend... But can I still upload it to Bandcamp/distributors? I just need to somehow split the earnings with those dudes, right?
PLUS
PortlandKeyboards commented 1mo+26dy ago
Correct! You are not obsolved of your responsibilty to distribute profits from your recordings outside of Soundblend.. And that could become a point of contention in a court of law. Let's say you made a lot of money from a song distributed through routenote... and then failed to share proceeds with your song-writting partners... They sue. They could use that Soundblend Agreement against you. It's a legally binding contract. Although, I don't think there's ever been such a lawsuit (?) So, it is untested.

I know ! This is what i have mean . I have mean the Streaming Services not Kompoz . Me and my Grandma are using Komoz for a long time and we are absolutely happy . But that offer to have the same one more time and the big bonus to even pay for it is a charming offer :-)))))

I mean man, you have described The Blues. The absurdity of having to pay for an intermediary service just to land your shit. More on this here with research, graphs and charisma: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDfNRWsMRsU HOWEVER - most of my friends listen to Streaming Service (which has free option BTW). HOWEVER - all distributors are doing shady shit. I don't want to pay a yearly fee for the option to have these songs online. I do understand that keeping employees and infrastructure costs money. I am glad to pay for an initial small fee that is never going to be paid back. Why? Because the couple of stuff that is out there gets listened to in my case. If I'm playing somewhere live first question: "Are you on ...?". Well we're not because I don't want to pay Distrokid yearly for the privilege of uploading something once.

What you have not understand is that my funny comment was not directed to you Portland . It was directed to the Text written from the Poster . You are 100 % right with your comment about that what we all have as is now . 15 % from something is not really FREE . I mean maybe cheap but if you get then an overnight hit it can get expensive to a point . The Kompoz stuff is free and has no extra costs ! No costs for Listener who prefer to listen music without adds too . A real advantage for people who love there listener !

Personally I used Catapult Distribution once. They still send me $0.03 every now and then. For people interested why are we in this shit there's a longer, very interesting video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDfNRWsMRsU I am still wishing to perform my music live and when it does happen, having an online presence helps a lot. Also I'm an elder millenial, I don't have the emotional energy anymore to even download fkn Tiktok. I am glad to give a couple of bucks somebody to do this for me. Until the music industry reforms itself this is the best I can do. If there's a revolution for our rights, let me know, I cook good meals for people who are young and ready to throw the rocks at them companies.

oneheadedman commented 1mo+26dy ago
However... The ALGORITHM favors those of who have polarizing content. Politics is the easiest way to do it so, and very-very simple. If you write "Let's be nice to these people" somebody will jump on it to say: "So you say we should be horrible to others, right?". But if enough mentally ill people start shoving each other under your post, video, etc. you have views.

Bandcamp pays the best, but doesn't get you on Spotify. I've been using TuneBubble because they get you on all the platforms and do a lot of Twitter promotion. If Raf is listening, Kompoz needs a partner like Music Xray, or MusicSubmit to get sync placements, which is where the revenue is these days.
PREMIER
JBaymore commented 1mo+25dy ago
Yeah Whit, (and Raf) I think the whole "rights" and contract system that Kompoz uses at the moment could use a good look-see also. And the music rights bill got re-introduced in congress.... we'll see if that ever goes anywhere.

Oh a question about Tunebubble. It's a rarity when I have a bunch of music files to publish, so definitely not every year. What happens with your previously published songs when you no longer pay the yearly fee at TuneBubble? Do they take them off? Or is it gonna stay? Regarding the rest, I agree with you on Kompoz would need a good partner or a deal on distribution, also I agree with others if the States is weird then fk the States, we can have a nice, correct deal for the rest of the world as well. (For instance, I'm Hungarian, it does not make any sense to me to distribute Hungarian language music to a country that can't even bother reading subtitles).

Promotion is key. A Kompoz Air Fleet flight service with aircrafts that are made available to us free of charge for international press events. That one can request the aircraft in the project at release. So that one can fly to London on the day of publication to the BBC. Next day Italy Rai in the morning magazine and then to America to Fox News. With such Kompoz planes, if you draw a big Kompoz lettering on them, it would also be doing promotion for Kompoz itself. Font size is the key to success when it comes to the lettering . Bigger is more big then big they say .
