On the Road

Two of us are heading to Chicago for RailsConf, the computer programming conference of the century! Well, okay, maybe just the year. It should be fun.

We leave by car from Massachusetts Wednesday morning and get back at nearly the end of June. It’s quite a road trip, covering more than 2000 miles there and back, with assorted side trips.

All this while continuing to answer customer support emails, running the site and working practically as usual. We’ll be putting in a couple of hours every night at the hotels we’re in, wherever they are.

So if we’re a LITTLE slower in answering your emails, forgive us, we’re on the road. We’ll still answer everything within 24 hours, just not within 24 minutes the way I prefer it.

But we leave with a major breakthrough–the April earnings are IN, and separate store billing is LIVE (that is, people who have albums in the system can now add other stores at will). Took a lot of programming to make that happen, but we did it before the start of our trip. Whew.

Take care, and stay tuned for updates from the road, if anything interesting happens.

–Peter and Gary

    Wow, we just went live on Rhapsody and I must say, this model is exciting. They have an awesome player that streams free in CD quality and a way to share your album. I gotta say, I’ve been making music a long time (I also play with Anything Box and we had a relationship with Epic and a few indies) and this is the best way to get music out. I don’t need to obsess about pages of artwork and manufacturing if I don’t want to. You guys are great, functioning like the bankers of the new music business. You make it easy and fun to be an artist. You give me a route to my audience and eliminate all those middlemen in between that profit while the artists starve. Bravo, guys, bravo!
    Enjoy your trip. We’re enjoying ours.

    Hi Paul
    Thank you for the very kind words. I own and run spinART Records and founded TuneCore.
    Living In Oblivion is an amazing song that ended up on many many many mix tapes. As a matter of fact, after I graduated college there was a period of about 8 months where I was trying to figure out what to do with my life. In that interim, I took a class at NYU film school. One of the class projects, make a documentary on a friend. Living In oblivion is prominently featured in my first (and only) film.
    Thank you for using TuneCore!
    Jeff
