What record companies allow their audio to be used on youtube?
The bastard record companies let my video get loads of views, and THEN removed it. So what ones allow their music? I know some just add a content marker and an itunes download option. Thanks.

Nothing really polishes a podcast more than background music or theme music. In the music world, these music segments are referred to as intros and extros. While many enjoy streaming Internet Audio and recording songs they like over the Internet, these songs cannot legally be used in a podcast. Podsafe music refers to music specifically for podcasters. The music is licensed in such a way that podcasters can purchase a license to include the music in a podcast without incurring additional fees or expenses. In order to use traditional music that is heard on the radio in a podcast, podcasters may have to pay royalties for each time the song is played. Some music files licensed under public domain or creative commons are exempt from royalties and these songs are available for use in a podcast, but generally when searching for music to include in a podcast it is probably best to stick with music that is specifically designated as "podsafe".

I hate to sound pessimistic but I worked at major labels for about ten years. If you send an unsolicited demo to a big record company the odds of it getting listened to are very slim. What I recommend doing is doing some homework on what kind of labels put out your kind of music and then trying to find the name of an A&R person who has worked with an artist you liked. Call the main # get transferred and request permission to send your demo to this executive. Being friendly to an assistant is a great way to go too - assistants in the A&R department often listen to more music that comes from sources that aren't more established (i.e. a manager or lawyer the company has worked with before or has a big act at another company). Get someones name and mark the package as "requested material". Your demo should be labeled and professional. Contact info should be on the disc itself (imagine the messiest desk covered with CDs that you can and then double it - that's a typical A&R desk so writing your project name and contact on the disc is essential). You should include a photo and a bio or at the very least a link to your URL. Best bet though - go make some noise on your own, build a following and then talk less about your talent in your bio but the strides you have made playing to big crowds and selling records and tickets on your own. If you are hell bent on going with a label - start small...go for a cool indie label - you have a much better shot getting heard. Best of luck, -Rick-How does a 14 year old interest a record company?
I am a fourteen year who is a young musician. I was wondering if anyone knows of any record companies that publish young musicians. First I guess I should make a CD. I have no recording equipment though. Anyway, does anyone know of any companies or not?

Well you'll have to not only have good music, but you'll have to of recorded your cd, ask your school often they can help you out with recording as they often have the equiptment, most do. When You Have recorded your cd you must have a sort of SA of who you are, your style of music and personality. After that you must sell a few cd's to get them interested. Sales catch their eye a lot, about 1000 should, do (I know A Lot) Record companies will hire someone talented of your age, as long as you have all the above, just send it to every record label you can, Good LuckHow do record companies choose what to release on their albums and singles?
Anyone that collects music knows that album and single releases for an artist vary drastically between countries. For example, certain countries may put different bonus tracks on albums or release alternate mixes on singles. Countries also release different promos for their albums and singles. My question is, why do record companies do this and how do they decide how to do it? I can understand the motive to create multiple versions to satisfy collectors, but how exactly do they decide what to release where? Is their a record of what is released in what countries? Is there any way to get access to these records?

I would send video recordings, preferably live, showing an audience really getting into your performance. They are not music critics, they are looking for marketable performers. However many songs meet that criteria.What exactly is the problem with major record companies?
Pardon my ignorance but what is it that makes the record companies so shit that everyone criticizes them?

They manipulate artists and use them to their advantage to gain profit.How do record companies win the law suits for people downloading/sharing music files?
If the song is purchased once and you allow other people, friends, whatever to save that song to their iPod, and they can in turn save it to their library, etc, etc, etc. Is this the same as 500 people downloading from LimeWire, or sharing music otherwise?? How do the record companies win the lawsuits when there are so many ways around it with out being tracked? The above is just one example, there are others like burning CD's, etc. Any opinions?

And also, how is software like BitTorrent and Limewire still available without repremand for supplying users with the means to (in essance) illegally share files? Shouldn't the record companies be targeting these like Napster, as opposed to the users?

The fact that there are many ways to break the law, some harder to trace (but not impossible) does not make it legal. The RIAA just successfully sued a woman in California for $32,000 for sharing 22 songs on kazza.How do you get a record company to lisen to your cd?

dont listen to that guy he'll have you waiting 10 years before you start to get big. That is a good tip but after that. Search up some record labels,find some tours,get some endorsement deals. For instance Im on the label "helvete studios" Ive played a couple of shows. Im endorsed by Fender and B.C. Rich. If you can accomplish this send in your stuff with all your info to a few different record companies and wait,However many reply back to you,find the best deal and stick with it. The whole process can take as little as 2 weeks to as long as 2 years. But not 10 years like the dude above.
