Jake Smith is a TuneCore Customer Support Representative and Editor of the Weekly Newsletter
and foremost, we'd like to thank everyone for the extremely valuable
feedback we've received on the TuneCore widget. We are happy to say
that the reviews have been quite positive across the board and we look
forward to your continued input.
With your thoughts in mind, we've unveiled a set of new features now
available for all TuneCore widgets. To ensure continuity, the changes
you make to your widget will automatically update wherever your widget
is live. Updates include:
Band Photo: You can now upload a band photo directly to your widget page, it will display when a song has not yet been selected.
Photo Gallery: Create and host a photo gallery in your widget by linking directly to a Flickr account.
Don't have a Flickr account? Visit http://www.flickr.com to set one up.
In the "My Photo Gallery" section, enter your Flickr user name OR a
photo set ID. Photo set ID is essentially a photo album ID from Flickr.
You can grab the photo set ID directly from the URL of your photo
page. For example if my URL was:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/frego/sets/72157616781787756/
My photo set ID would be 72157616781787756
Videos: Share your YouTube videos (electronic press kits, live performances, etc.) inside your widget!
Don't have a YouTube account? Visit http://www.youtube.com to set one up.
In the "My Videos" section, enter your YouTube username. It will pull
ALL VIDEOS from that account. For this reason, if you have a YouTube
account that features several videos unrelated to your music, you may
want to create a dedicated band YouTube account.
Tour Dates: Keep fans up to date with a list of upcoming
performances. At this time you can only add future tour dates. To add
tour dates, log into TuneCore then click http://www.tunecore.com/widgets
Donations: Raising money for a tour or a new record? Fans can
now donate to your cause directly through the TuneCore widget to your
Premier PayPal Account (learn how to set up your Premier PayPal Account
here: http://www.tunecore.com/widgets/paypal.html)
