Moderators MrKnobs Posted June 23, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 23, 2012 Yes, Jango pays you ----> but no authors society of any country including USA's ASCAP pays you royalties.Jango is in control of everything. No other entity included. However we do not know who owns Jango, eventually Jango is owned by a major record company, and you as independent unsigned artist pay that you get played, that would be a total new trick of them. Not a new trick. Same trick garageband.com played several years ago until they went out of business and sold the name to the recording process it is now. Terry D.

Gus Lozada Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Jango reports all plays, and I'm definitely getting plays (and fans) in the UK, Aus, Ireland, Mexico, Canada, Kenya, etc. I will specify Germany and Switzerland and see what they tell me.

Members John Bartus Posted June 27, 2012 Members Share Posted June 27, 2012 I have to say that David Lowery's letter to Emily was one of the more reasoned and even-tempered approaches to something that I feel as strongly about as he does. The network and hardware providers (big corporations) will all make their money, while the artists continue to struggle to make a living going up against the Free Culture rationale that legitimizes theft of intellectual property for so many. The Cloud will likely make it harder for independent musicians and artists to get paid -- it sure seems that comparatively small-time indie musicians will likely suffer the same fate at the hands of Spotify as they do with broadcast income as handled by the Performing Rights Societies. And to change the subject, at least CDs provide a full uncompressed 16 bits. No matter how good they have tweaked the MP3/AAC data compression algorithms, compressed tracks don't sound as good as CDs -- never will. Sure, my iPods are convenient -- but when I listen at home, I'll pop in a CD all the time. But why spend all the time and money to record and mix at 24 bits and high sampling rates when so few people care about how the music sounds? Isn't that one of the reasons that we come to this forum -- the goal of making the best sounding music we can? Or should we just resurrect our old 4-track cassette recorders and proudly proclaim, "It's analog!"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
