@jordicusmaximus yes, been doing this for years. It works wonders, future you will thank past you for booking 'catch up' time.

Getting measured based on your productivity terrifies lazy employees. That's why your laziest employees prefer to work in an office, because they get 'credit' for working by just sitting in a cubicle all day.

Remote workers are evaluated based on productivity, not how long they sat in a little box and did nothing.

For iOS users, I am aware of a bug on https://MusicMachina.com where you have to click the 'play' button twice to hear tracks on the front page. Working on it, but I don't want to push a fix until it's been fully tested, etc.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

@John_Downey I think I'd have to work with the stations or figure out the playlists/artists they were playing. As you know, college radio is a wide range, with each student/DJ playing a variety. I'll need to hone it down to '#music that isn't being played everywhere else'.

How Does Distrokid Work?

@John_Downey good thought, currently I'm tracking a few hundred #music blogs but I need to figure out how to track college radio stations.

I need to add to https://MusicMachina.com 'about' page that there's no cost for promotion, so H/T to @corlin for asking the question.

@corlin that's great to hear. It will be important to get feedback and industry knowledge. I've built massive systems before but I also know better than assume I don't need people with in-the-trenches experience.

@John_Downey thanks, I hope so.

@corlin no cost for promotion, I'm looking more to eventually build a bandcamp alternative. With BC being acquired by a larger company over a year ago, and then being sold again within a year, I expect their service will eventually degrade and no longer be as favorable for artists.

But starting small. I need to build a strong, scalable platform.

I'm building a music discovery service to help promote lesser known bands.

I have plans for https://MusicMachina.com that I hope will be helpful to #musicians and #music fans, but for now it's just listing of new music releases for your enjoyment. Please follow https://mastodon.social/@MusicMachina for updates and yes, there will be a way to submit your music coming in 2024, plus more.

I'm always amazed at how bad so many large companies' sales teams are. You can literally be a company with over $1B in revenue, and be actively trying to get a quote to purchase their product and they barely return emails or phone calls. I've experienced this multiple times over the past couple of decades. Lazy sales teams who you are trying to write a check to can't be bothered.

He started his rap career by busking on the streets of Europe. Over a decade later, DubFX is still touring and making music for his fans.
