Lynn Carey Saylor's 2 part
article on the subject of Real Audio is
printed in the current edition of the INDIE
CONTACT BIBLE along with 31 other
informative articles written on a variety of
interesting subjects by Music Industry
Professionals. Lynn was not
compensated in any way for her contributions and
donated the articles because she believes the
Indie Contact Bible is an extremely valuable
resource for all Independent artists regardless
of genre. We've printed the titles and
authors (in order as they appear in the book)
below, to let you see that this incredible
resource is worth the price of purchase just for
these articles alone. Where we could find
them, links to the books that these writers have
written about various aspects of the music
industry are included as well as the links to
the reprints of Lynn's articles on Real
Audio. Amazingly, however, these
articles make up a only a minor portion of
the book. The rest of it is filled with
enough resources to keep you busy until editor
David Wimble comes up with the follow up
edition. Oh, did we mention that Mr.
Wimble continually updates the Indie Bible and
periodically sends out all the new listings by
email to everyone who purchases the book
online? Here's what you have access
to in addition to the articles:
- 2300 publications from around the world
that will REVIEW your CD
- 2700
radio stations
from around the world will PLAY your
songs
- 440
vendors and services
that will help you to SELL your music!
- 300
helpful resources and
sites where you can PROMOTE your band
- 340
sites where you can UPLOAD
your band's MP3 files
If you are an
Independent artist of any type and wish to get
your music out to the masses, you owe it to
yourself to pick up this invaluable resource if
you haven't already. Available in
hard copy or downloadable
format.
