I use a few really good and trusted sources of podsafe music but I’m always interested to hear from artists who don’t have arrangements with publicists or albums on Jamendo and the like.
If you have a track that you’d like to submit to the show, I’ll be pleased to have a listen, but “Hold on there youngster”
Of course, try as I may, I simply can’t fit all the great music I’d like to play each week into the 45 minute Suffolk ‘n Cool show so there is no way I can guarantee that I'll play your submission.
In fact I can’t even promise to send you feedback on your track because I simply don’t have time. However, if I think it might be better suited to a different podcast, I’ll forward it to them, if that’s OK.
Here's how
Please complete the submission form (via this link) before uploading your track. This is essential so that I know what I have, from whom and where I can contact you. The bottom line is: No form, no play - guaranteed!
It would be really helpful. No, more than that, it’s essential, that you title your track. It is really, really helpful if you complete all the relevant ID3 tags on your MP3 file so that I know, at a glance, what it is and who it is from.
HINT: You can do all that in iTunes if you select the track and click File>Get info. In Windows, right click on the file and select "Properties". There's a very helpful blog post on MP3 tags at Sentric
ANOTHER HINT: If you’ve got an audio comment or a station ID for me - you can send it as an MP3 via the same process.
We take musician's rights very seriously so we need to know that you own the copyright or have the right to submit your music to the show.
The submission form explains the Terms of Use and also has some useful information about Creative Commons licenses.
In look forward to hearing your work and hope that I'll be able to help you promote it.
