DiscRevolt is developing the next version of their technology platform and it should be released in the next 4 weeks or so. This new platform is going to be a huge upgrade and we’re super excited about the prospects. The new platform will still do the same things the old platform does, but it will do them better and will also do much more.
Download Card FAQs
Why should I get download cards when I can just tell people to go to my site or CDbaby to download my music?
You will get a much BETTER RESPONSE if people have a physical card.
The card is a HUGE MOTIVATOR because:
- The card is perceieved to have VALUE, even if it downloads something that is free. It feels like a gift card.
- The physical aspect of the card REMINDS people to go to your content when they find it in their purse or wallet later.
Getting your CD track info to show up on computers
When a music CD is inserted in a computer connected to the internet, the media player application (like Itunes and Windows Media Player) goes online and retrieves the album, artist, track information, and even album cover from a central database. Different media players use different databases – Itunes uses Gracenote. Windows Media Player uses AMG.
