Found an notification on a trackback in my email wich lead me to a samplepool. Over ther I found a link to tunetracks where I was happely surprised to find 1 song and 2 remixes of my songs.

But this leaves me with a few questions.
1 What are samplepools? I’ve tried to find some info and proberbly didn’t look good couse I couldn’t find any.
2 What’s the normal use/reason of a samplepool? I would expect a pool of samples wich are there but in the beatnik there are only songs.
3 Is there a way to see how many plays and downloads are made both on tunetracks and ccmixter?
4 Maybe it’s a new way of spelling but I think there’s something wrong in this sentence.
“If you would like to submit a track for consideration, license muic from TuneTrack, or work with our artists, contact us via the form below.”
5 If I’ve understand it correct I can submit a tracks of myself? I’ve been thinking about a place outside ccM to post my songs, would this be a good place and if so why??
6 Commercial usage. not that I expect my songs being commercial used, but how does it work if they are?

Sorry for the big load of questions

hey abstract audio. thanks so much for asking. in addition to being the label part of artistechmedia, tunetrack.net is a place to explore ways to display CC content in a listener friendly way — (run by those of us that run ccMixter). it is early in its development.

i’m not sure why the trackback is showing as a samplepool instead of just a listing on the website. we will investigate that. it doesn’t seem like the right way to trackback, so we may need to change that.

the songs we’ve curated for the Secret Mixter on tunetrack use the ccMixter API. ccMixter’s tracks have also been featured in playlists on the FMA and Soundcloud.

thanks for noticing the spelling error! the site is young :)

the tracks in the playlist aren’t considered commercial use (no one is making money from them), but rather, featured. they are streamed for free (using ccMixter’s APIs) and downloads must take place on your artist page (see the Credits link). we are very sensitive about this and your feedback is important.

Hi Abstract Audio-

TuneTrack posted a playlist featuring songs from ccMixter yesterday. When it went live, it went live with the appropriate “trackbacks.” Trackbacks are an extension of attribution, allowing listeners to report they heard a mix being used somewhere on the net. When a trackback is reported, a member of the ccMixter admin team verifies to the best of their ability that the ‘trackback’ is authentic. When this is verifed they approve the trackback and it then appears in the “samples are used in” section of the mix’s attribution tree.

It’s easy to confuse “samples are used in” with “sample pools.”

ccMixter Featured Sample Pools are here.

Currently, there is no way to see how many times a mix was downloaded or streamed. I believe this is intended to keep the focus on a flat sharing community, rather than on stats and charts.

I hope this helps.

If you’re looking for licensing opportunities for your music, and/or a place to feature your mixes in a album format or Listening Lounge, then TuneTrack is the place for you.

How does this work? Last year’s Peace of Winter is a great place to start.

Thanks for taking the time in your busy schedule to anwser all my questions. I think the technical stuff is clear to me now, I guess I just end up on the wrong page.

Have been reading tunetrack today, it’s become an impressive site. How is it going so far, getting enough members and attention?.
Didn’t realize till today that digg/ccmixter/tunetrack are all part of the same big plan. And in this tunetrack is the financial supplyer keeping CC&Digg in the air?

While reading I found 1 link that doesn’t work, on the about page the link to artistech is missing an e. Another thing I noticed was a missing album picture and link in the awake playlist, instead there’s red x wich links to this page.

I’ve spend my my
