Yeah Imeem is quite fine! It’s part of the websites which contributed to the revolution in the musical world. However, my favourite one in that context is http://www.deezer.com/en which brought real free and legal music-on-demand! It’s quite great, and it has quite a huge catalogue right now! Check it out.

Hi illectro. Thanks for the info and the great techno playlist (favorited). I like the Imeem set up… as with Last.fm it won’t amount to much (payment wise) but I am fairly consistent and do a lot of output so hopefully over the next next years it will amount to a small worth… if nothing else exposure for more live shows. My only fear as been signing up with Snocap. I have read the full TOS and I don’t see any reason to hold back…it’s purely their past reputation I am worried about.

Snocap can sell your tunes if you want, but the deal with respect to imeem is that imeem uses snocap to pay artists 50% of the advertising revenues that get generated by their music. I’m sure it’s not much, a fraction of a penny per play, but that’s a whole 50% more than the likes of myspace are paying artists.
It’s enough that imeem have managed to convince the all major record labels to sign on.

Someone has put together a great selection of Techno mixes on the site - you can listen to this for hour.

I don’t know much about Snowcap either… but I will say this… Be careful of sites that want to “manage your music IP rights”. I think some of them are out there to try and trap artists into contracts and skim control away from them.

If anything I would prefer a site like Tunecore.com to manage my rights for me, I’m sure they’ll have a relationship soon enough with mySpace for retailing music. They’ve already hit most of the major sites, and are already adding sites like AmieStreet.com to their IP managing portfolio.

I’d hold out before jumping in…. there’s too many ppl using Tunecore for that site to be ignored.

I was listening to another playlist by the same guy and just clicked on his “other playlists by the user” tab and that thing came up.
