Bloggers have been asking for this for a while, so we’re sure you’ll be excited to hear that artists can now mark songs “podsafe” on ReviewShine.

When you upload your next album, mark a track or two “podsafe” and give bloggers permission to use them in their podcast royalty-free. If you’ve already submitted an album, just log in, click the album title, then click the “Mark (more) songs podsafe” link.

Bloggers: Look for the podcast logo (and download link) next to the tracks earmarked by the artist or promoter.

New Feature: Submit Albums to Additional Blogs

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 23:58:34 -0400

Many of you asked for it, and now you got it! From your ReviewShine homepage, click on an album title (or the cover art). You’ll see the track listing, any attachments you’ve uploaded, a list of blogs you’ve already submitted to…and checkboxes to submit to more blogs!

Please welcome our new bloggers (and send them music).

Resume progress after uploading your MP3s

Tue, 23 Jun 2009 01:26:10 -0400

If you’ve uploaded an album to ReviewShine, but logged out or closed your browser window before submitting it, your MP3s are not lost. These “pending albums” are still on our server and, as of earlier today, are listed on your homepage as soon as you log in. You can pick up right where you left off without needing to upload your songs again!

It's Official...

We’re starting really simple: upload your album and submit to as many blogs as you want for $5.00. If there are more blogs you’d like to see in our list, let us know (or send them to www.reviewshine.com).

Coming to Bonnaroo? I’ll be there with 80,000 of my closest friends, enjoying a long weekend of pop, rock, bluegrass, soul, r&b, hip-hop, and electronica. Drop me a line, I’d love to meet up with you.

New Feature: Edit Track Titles

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 02:18:04 -0400

After uploading your MP3s, you can now correct the track numbers and titles in the web upload wizard. We’ve also improved support for multi-disc albums and improved the error messages (Thanks, Hal)!

We’re still sending out sneak peek invites. If you have a recent or upcoming release, let us know and we’ll get you on the list. -Sam

Air Travel Fail

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 01:41:09 -0400

The airline has thwarted my attempts to make it out to SXSW, but Larry and Heather successfully made it out there on Wednesday. Hope you had a great time at the Americana Roots/Galleywinter showcase tonight, guys!

Back home in North Carolina, we’re consoling ourselves with a healthy dose of college basketball: 32 games down, 16 more to go.

Getting Ready for SXSW

Sam and I are heading out to SXSW in Austin to check out a ton of great music, drink some whiskey/beers, and meet with our blogger and musician buddies! If you’re going to be in town and want to hang out, drop us a line at info@reviewshine.com.
