"Glad to know it's a scam now. "

You are just as blind as the people who signed up without researching ARselect or asking questions.

While it's clear that TAXI is the most popular service of it's kind, it doesn't mean that they are any more or less effective on getting your music placed than any other service.

Most of it is on the musician. I doubt if AR Select or TAXI would turn down somebody waving $$$ in their face.

There are a lot of people who have not done well with TAXI. That doesn't 100% mean it was TAXI's fault, but there is always a chance that the music was good marketable enough but TAXI didn't do their job. Of course, more than likely, the music wasn't good enough.

Just like the recording studio I run, the quality of results is dependant moreso on the clients than on myself, the engineer.

Thus far, no one here has a right to call AR Select a scam. Unless you have tried it with a hit song (impossible) there is no way to test just as there is no way to test TAXI.

AR Select does seam to have an active sales department, but who doesn't? TAXI has a very active sales department too, but they've taken the relaxed, no pressure approach.

I think the big issue here is TAXI is half the price and has a proven track record. That, in itself, makes it to be the most logical choice.
