Reminders

“Copy share URL”

In case you haven’t yet, check out the “outreach button”. When you drop down to the list of names and email addresses, on the right hand side there is a search bar. If for example you are looking for stations that play pop you can search “pop” and then the list will narrow down. 

You can go up to “Songs” or “Releases” on your account and click on what you wish to share and simply “Copy share URL” and when reaching out to stations you can send them the link for easier access. *Stations need to sign in first to be able to see the upload.

We share your uploads with our members weekly!

Every monday a music digest email goes out to all the music directors which includes all the uploads to !earshot distro from the week before, this is in efforts of creating an easy and digestible way for stations to browse through new releases. Make sure you have set up google alerts for yourself and you’ll be able to see if you were highlighted in the newsletter.
