Once again I pose the question that if the listeners weren't willing to participate in this system, what makes anyone think that artists and songwriters will?

Geordieswords, I agree that one good radio station is better than 20 sound clicks, and they were both meant to serve different purposes, but a radio station with no audience, is like an airport with no planes, the general concept is sound, but without all the pieces they are both rather unproductive, and you won't find many people standing in line to buy stock in either of them.

Those sites like sound click by themselves aren't enough but when combined with real radio play, they are a useful economical tool to make yourself known. Once again, do the research, find the most visited, and then post there.

My points were first of all before you go jumping on the band wagon, do the research, secondly, there are many other very productive ways to gain exposure if you offer a quality product.
I don't believe you will find any artist that is experiencing any degree of success participating in this type of venture.

I guess I should consider myself fortunate to already have the exposure level that I enjoy, but I worked for it. I think through experience I know a little about promoting and marketing on the internet, and if you doubt that just google my name, you'll see I have been a busy beaver the last year and a half, and I didn't spend $500,000 to get that exposure, more like maybe $1000. I am not saying this to toot my own horn but, I think it's important for you all to realize I don't speak from subjective assumption, if I am talking about it, I generally have some real life experience in it, and given that experience I believe any that has to utilize this system to get air play on dead radio waves, is wasting their time, efforts , and money.

Thats just my opinion.
