Д.Д. Posted May 3, 2015 Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 In case you need it, you can search by label on Spotify too. Type label:"labelname" (e.g. label:"blue note") in the search box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medjuck Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 I use You Tube when I want to find individual cuts. Does anyone know whether composers or record companies get paid for you Tube plays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dolan Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 They do, but I've never seen anything definitive on how it is structured. Probably isn't much since many artists yank their tunes from YouTube and Vevo once they discover they are posted there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 How much stuff do you have out there? Aren't the royalty payments something obnoxiously bizarre, like a fifth of a cent per play, or something like that? Or worse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, "my life's work" is not a "precise" answer. That tells me absolutely nothing as far as how many copyrighted titles he's referring to. That's like asking me "what did you eat", and me responding "everything!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Thank you. One look at those titles would tell me that they probably aren't streamed much. Most Jazz fans I know, myself included, don't even use streaming services. I'd still like to know how the rates are determined.

ombudsman Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 One band I am involved with has 5 tunes available on one streaming platform. Total plays at this point are around 10,000 after a few months. Earnings $1.98. And that if I'm not mistaken is considerably more than what Spotify pays.As to the original question, I suppose if you call the online streaming services themselves the music business, then I think yes, it's saving the hell out of them. As for the musicians, this is the kind of revenue stream you can't even die on much less live on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Lark Ascending Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 And another exploration:Is streaming good for music?I've no idea what the eventual outcome will be. But I could identify immediately with the Metallica chap:"Thirty, 40 years ago I would get on my bike, drive to the record store, spend time figuring out which record I could buy by listening to a bunch of them. By the time I got home I would end up spending every minute of my free time for the next week just acting with this particular record."Nowadays music, to an extent, for some people it's become kind of background noise."Now, I wouldn't want to go back to 1970 - I like the wealth of music available and make major use of what is on offer. But there is no doubt that I knew those records I bought one at a time on a limited budget far more thoroughly than the music I buy (or stream) all too easily today.

Scott Dolan Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Then why all the hand-wringing over all of this?Shit, I listened to the radio for free every day. I also made a ton of cassette tapes of tunes I recorded, for free, off of the radio. Are the current trends really that different?

Scott Dolan Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 "I was there. AM radio kicked streaming's ass. Analog Cassettes and 8 tracks also kicked streaming's ass, and absolutely rocked compared to streaming.Streaming sucks. Streaming is the worst audio in history. If you want it, you got it. It's here to stay. Your choice.Copy my songs if you want to. That's free. Your choice.All my music, my life's work, is what I am preserving the way I want it to be.It's already started. My music is being removed from all streaming services. It's not good enough to sell or rent.Make streaming sound good and I will be back." - Neil Young Translation: "I'm ready for my straightjacket now!"
