Hey,
There are 2 ettiqutte rules here that I'm going to start enforcing.

1) This board is ONLY for NEW RELEASES.
If you just got signed, started a new label, opened a new store... anything but released a new track that the public can obtain by purchasing needs to go into one of the other music forums. Myspace.com and other mp3 sharing site tracks don't count as a new release. Any threads that don't meet the requirements will be moved to Dance Culture. So post your non-signed, free tracks there as well as any industry news posts you may have.

2) Please use this format for your subjects: Artist - Title - Label - Release Date - Genre
This will give the readers a very quick idea of what the release is before clicking on the link and keep this forum tiddy.

That's all. Thanks.

Well... get what you can in. Seriously... The more specific it is, the better. Something like "New John Boy Track" doesn't work for too long.

BTW, you did pretty good with the MF one.

I totally agree with you!  The more descriptive and helpful it is, the more it will reach it's target audience in this sea of info.  I just wanted to point out that many tracks in EDM have really long names, so it might prove difficult at times, and maybe you could allow the subject lines to be longer?

Just a suggestion, and in the meantime I will follow the format and edit to the best of my ability to fit!

So how would you prefer a label announces a new compilation or album by an artist?

Various Artist - Comp. Name?

Comp. Name - Various Artist?

I don't really have a preference. The guidelines are just to help make things easier that's all Smiley

I find this kindof confusing. Are you saying that if you just got signed, started a label, or opened a store, you cannot post unless it's available for purchase/download? I think that's what you're saying... but it could be interpretted otherwise.

Pudd, that's news... not NEW RELEASES.

This only for announcements of material that you can BUY now.

Ahhh, I get it now Smiley

Perhaps the rule should be rephrased, cause it did take me 3 reads to understand it. And I know English is my first language. hehe
