metajam
as i continue to explore the fringes of the music business that i haven’t really addressed in public yet, my next note-to-self points to metajam. as i recall this came up in a discussion with musicbrainz chief instigator robert kaye. this is a quickie.
the line is “Put Your Music Career Into Your Own Hands.”
in the diy-tradition, a long line of contact- and career-management softwares have appeared on the scene. i vaguely remember some shareware apps from back in the 80’s, and now, with metajam, not only do you get a tour/contact management package, but you get website and song management in a $199 package.
i’m sure metajam could be a good thing for some musicians out there trying to make a career happen, but i’m underwhelmed. i guess i think you have better things to spend $200 on.
