Loraynmusic,

The premise of the point is really flawed. People who are in the music industry very rarely are "looking for any music." They have plenty. They write, record it and live it every day. Their friends and co-writing relationships do that as well. Hundreds and thousands of writers, singers, songs are all there overwhelming them constantly.
That is why "sending in" anything is really a waste of time. They aren't heard. They don't make it through the levels of gate keepers and filters that are in this business. And the substandard demos even make that process harder on the unknown writers and artists.

It is a common mistake that writers and artists have, that someone "Has to hear them." They really don't. No one "Has to be heard." That is something that is earned by making the personal relationships that are cultivated on every day within every level of the music industry.
