i love it:)

the site is not really selling anything, but it looks like it has scared a few people. I am sure they will get a few emails and from there on they could start a business deal.

nice.
Very, very true - it's really down to their customer service now. They'll get ranked highly on all search engines because of the breadth of text content, and the amount of work potential labels have to put in is so minimal it's laughable really. I can understand why label owners may be put off initially, but I think this is mainly because it's not been approached in the conventional manner - but the publicity this site has generated within three days of launch is pretty stupendous. Some very good thinking at this company in my humblee opinion.

Company A

"Hello this is company xyz, we're launching a new service, all we need you to do is encode all your back catalogue in high quality mp3, provide all your label images, release information and sign this contract, then we need you to upload them all in 'this' format. Oh, ok, well if you change your mind....beep, beep, beep"

Company B

"Hello, this is just to let you know about a new service we've launched, if you take a look at http://www.xy.com/yourlabel you'll see that we have added all information for all your releases for you already. You might be interested to know that ten people have already added your music to their accounts - all we need you to do is to fax us back a signature and we'll activate your account."

Which is better?
