Label Worx always to listens and reacts to the feedback we receive from both the clients who use our services and the DJ's who receive our promo campaigns. We have had some great feedback recently from DJ's on how we can make our promo campaigns easier for them to use and manage. One request was for ZIP files to be available at all times, on all campaigns. In order to do this we took the responsibility away from the label/promotion company to upload their own ZIP files and instead we generate them on their behalf. The end result is every promo campaign now has the option to download a ZIP file that contains all MP3 files and all additional files uploaded to the campaign. It also means that all ZIP files have a unified look and feel and filenames are cleanly written.]]> http://www.label-worx.com/blog/3064 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 17:08:00 +0000

When you sub license music to a third party compilation or record label you are required to provide the associated credits (publisher, copyright, written by, produced by) that are related to the track you are licensing. This information is what is commonly referred to as 'label copy' in the industry. In the past you would have had to compile this information manually. This has now changed with introduction of our brand new 'Label Copy' export feature. Simply search and select the release or track from your catalogue and your compiled 'Label Copy' information will appear on screen. You can then edit the displayed 'Label Copy' and copy to your clipboard or start a new pre compiled email. We would like to thank the labels that suggested this feature.

Earlier this month Beatport announced their Beatport Mixes portal. mixes.beatport.com This new service gives your DJs the opportunity to upload a continuous DJ mix and sell it to potential customers. This is a completely legal system and essentially bypasses the need for DJs to sub license tracks from record labels because Beatport handles all of this in their place. Every mix submitted must contain 100% tracks purchased from Beatport. Once logged in DJs can upload their mix which should be a single file, ideally at least 60 minutes in length and at the audio quality of 320kbps MP3 to 16bit, 44.1 kHz WAV. They then add cover art, describe their mix and build the track listing based on their purchase history (this is how Beatport knows you have bought the track from them). What does the DJ get out of this? Well apart from providing a legal way for DJs to sell their live / studio mixes they also get 10% commission from the Beatport Share of the sale and the rest is paid out to the labels of the tracks included in the mix. This is a great tool for getting DJs to promote recent releases by uploading mixes including their latest releases or even creating a mix for their recent DJ Chart they have created. For more information and to request an invite code check out their news post here: Beatport Mixes News Article]]> http://www.label-worx.com/blog/2059 Thu, 14 Jun 2012 15:26:00 +0100

Juno Download has partnered with Pacha, one of the world's biggest dance music brands, to launch Pacha Download, a white-label version of the Juno Download store. Pacha Download, which launches this week, is a great opportunity for both Juno and our labels to reach new markets and increase sales of both new and back catalogue download releases. As a brand, Pacha has been at the forefront of the Ibiza scene for decades, gradually spreading across the world with a record label, cool merchandising and club franchises. Stephen Glen Hulme of Pacha Recordings explains their move into the download market: 'Digital Stores are now part of everyday life, but outside of one or two existing sites they all seemed to me to be directed first and foremost to DJs and trendsetters rather than the general public. My belief is that the general public are a bit intimidated by the DJ based stores and so I wanted an open store that music fans could enter and shop inside, without peer pressure so to speak.' The new white-label store will be hosted at www.pachadownload.com, but content will be stored by Juno. All preview clips, artwork, release data and full length audio files will be stored on our own servers, and customers will download their tracks directly from Juno too.]]> http://www.label-worx.com/blog/1689 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 11:46:06 +0000

As 2011 comes to an end it's time to reflect on what has been a very busy year for all. The team at Label Worx have worked very hard to deliver some great services and fantastic tools over the past 12 months. The introduction of our daily sales system has by far been the best received new feature. The ability to see sales that occur at stores like iTunes and Beatport in near real-time is now enabling labels to better understand the progress of their releases without having to wait for their next statement. Our new and improved player on the promo download pages has also gone down extremely well with both labels and DJ's alike! The ability to see track waveforms is invaluable and also review promos on mobile devices is a welcomed addition. We will be making some exciting announcements in the coming months so stay tuned. This along with the on-going work to expand our DSP network and ingesting more stores into our daily sales system are high on our agenda for 2012. We are very privileged to work with such a fantastic group of labels who are extremely driven and dedicated to getting their music out there. We would therefore like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and best wishes for the New Year. See you in the New Year!

Juno Download have partnered with the world's leading online electronic music magazine, Resident Advisor, to make high quality music downloads available to buy directly through their site at www.residentadvisor.net. Initially, download tracks will be available for purchase via the DJ Charts section, with the potential to expanding across the site later in the year. RA readers will be able to easily listen to and buy tracks being charted in high quality 320 MP3 and WAV formats. Founded in 2001, the Webby Award-winning Resident Advisor with over 1.3 million unique readers a month, has grown to become one of the world's most influential electronic music websites. It has played a significant role in bringing fans and artists closer together with a daily flow of news, reviews, features, podcasts and charts. This partnership promises to be a great opportunity for labels already working with Juno Download, as it will reach a new audience of dedicated electronic music fans and enthusiasts, providing them with more opportunities to legally purchase music from their favourite artists and labels online. The store is hosted at www.residentadvisor.net, but all preview clips, release data and full length audio files will be stored centrally on Juno's own servers. Although customers will purchase tracks directly from RA, the download will come from Juno's systems. Driven by RA's charts system digital downloads will be available from track pages already available on the site. For tracks to appear on sale, they must be 1) charted by artists on RA and 2) approved by RA. This means not all releases on Juno Download will make it onto the store, as RA will be managing what's made available.]]> http://www.label-worx.com/blog/1471 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 16:50:04 +0000

Last month Trackitdown celebrated their 7 year anniversary on the front lines of digital music retail. Congratulations to them! With this celebration comes a new chapter from the company. Billed as a 'Revolution Designed for DJs' - TID Pro is a membership service that enables subscribing members to download music with a significant cost saving. With an emphasis on value for money without harming the music makers, TID Pro is a new way for serious DJs to buy more music at a substantial discount so they can discover more - Trackitdown.net So what does is cost? The monthly membership costs 10.00 which then allows all members to buy their music at cost price. That means that full quality WAV files are reduced from 1.75 to 0.99 and 320 kbps MP3s are down from 1.49 to 0.79. Exclusive tracks are unfortunately not currently included in the discounted rate at present. If you only buy a couple of tracks a month then this service isn't for you but if you regularly download 20+ tracks then this might be worth a look at. From a labels point of view, nothing has changed. Although TID Pro enables music to be purchased at a reduced rate, these sales are accounted as full track sales to labels. ]]> http://www.label-worx.com/blog/1245 Mon, 01 Aug 2011 16:53:03 +0100
Apple has finally realized that 30 seconds is just not long enough to get a good feel for a 7 minute dance track. Although it's a relatively small change, the adjustment to 90 seconds is a massive step forward for iTunes. This update brings the store in line with most other digital retail outlets and is available in USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK and parts of Europe. These music samples are what will sell your music so it's important that they are correct. For all Label Worx distributed content, you have the ability to specify at which point in the track that 90 seconds sample should start from so you have complete control. ]]> http://www.label-worx.com/blog/1210 Mon, 11 Jul 2011 12:01:04 +0100

Apple officially announced iCloud on the 6th June. This is Apple's seamless approach to cloud computing and will be launching "this fall" (no exact date given). This service will be available to everybody for free with compatible devices. You can read all about iCloud and it's many features here - apple.com/icloud In regards to iTunes and the music aspects of iCloud two new services we unveiled - "iTunes in the Cloud" and "iTunes Match". iTunes in the Cloud "With iCloud, the music you purchase in iTunes appears automatically on all your devices. You can also download your past iTunes purchases. Where you want, when you want." If you have multiple iOS devices this really takes the hassle out of syncing your music. You simply buy it once on your Mac, PC or iOS device and it automatically appears on your other devices. Apple are now also allowing you to register and sync to 10 devices to your account (up from 5). There is no extra charge to the customer and no extra royalties to the labels for this. You could do this manually before, Apple have just automated the process. Pretty neat we think! iTunes Match We are still digesting exactly how this will work and how exactly you will get paid but the below is Apple's detailed description regarding iTunes Match : If you want all the benefits of iTunes in the Cloud for music you haven't purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. It lets you store your entire collection, including music you've ripped from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. For just $24.99 a year. Here's how it works: iTunes determines which songs in your collection are available in the iTunes Store. Any music with a match is automatically added to your iCloud library for you to listen to anytime, on any device. Since there are more than 18 million songs in the iTunes Store, most of your music is probably already in iCloud. All you have to upload is what iTunes can't match. Which is much faster than starting from scratch. And all the music iTunes matches plays back at 256-Kbps iTunes Plus quality - even if your original copy was of lower quality. So that's iTunes Match. The benefits we can all agree are pretty great and the annual price makes this service a steal. We have some points that need clarifying from Apple regarding royalty payments, how they prevent matching of illegal content and pricing for different territories so we will follow up on this post with the finer details along with an official launch date as soon as we know.]]> http://www.label-worx.com/blog/1073 Fri, 13 May 2011 00:00:00 +0100
