BARON ZERO ON THE NET: WHERE TO FIND "FOLLOW THE EYE" (UPDATED)

THIS IS AN UPDATE ON MY PREVIOUS POST: I have recently set up a Google alert for BARON ZERO and it is slowly helping me tracking down all the sites where my music is available for streaming, download or sales.

Here is where you can find Baron Zero as of today (I put in bold the platforms where you can purchase the album):

1. Amie Street
2. Audiolunchbox
3. Autoproduction.net
4. Charts in France (en Francais)
5. emusic
6. Fnac (en Francais)
7. Fuzz / Fuzzstore
8. GarageBand
9. iLike
10. indabamusic
11. iTunes
12. Jamglue
13. mp3.com
14. Music Download (auf Deutsch)
15. Music Nation
16. MySpace
17. Napster
18. Payloadz
19. Project Opus
20. PureVolume
21. RadioAid
22. Rhapsody
23. 7Digital Indiestore
24. Sonic Garden
25. Tagworld
26. Virgin Mega (en Francais)
27. Virtualabel
28. we7
29. Yahoo music

Looking at it, there are quite a few big ones missing (Magnatune, CD Baby, Amazon) and when I have a minute, I'm quite keen to try and use the widget put on line by Brad here to set up my own digital store.

But in the meantime, if anybody has any other suggestion, drop me a line ...

BARON ZERO IS BACK ON MYSPACE: WANT TO BE FRIENDS ?

Halleluia, Baron Zero is back on MySpace ! I finally got myself into gear and put together the new Baron Zero MySpace page. And I'm not totally unhappy with the way it looks if I may say so myself.

What do you think ? Have a look here.

SOUNDS LIKE A BARON CALLING: BARON ZERO RINTONES AT PHONESHERPA

I have now created an account on PhoneSherpa where you can buy Baron Zero phone rings - check it out  here.

But to tell the truth, I'm not completly satisfied with it since 1/ number of ringtones is limited to 4 and I've got so many more and 2/ I wanted to make them all available for free but you need to pay to get this option ...

Paying to give things away for free: seems like a strange logic to me ! So if anybody knows of a better platform, I'm interested.

A SOFT SPOT FOR SONGSPOT: BARON ZERO ON SONIFIC MUSIC NETWORK

Sonific LLC (founded by Gerd Leonhard who, amongst many things, co-wrote the 'Future of Music') announced yesterday the launch of Sonific Music Network - see press release here. The core of Sonific is Songspot TM, a streaming music widget available for use on blogs, social networks, photo-sharing sites, personal web-pages, and many web2.0 applications (in total 42 platforms to date !).

In addition to the current catalogue of 150,000 songs, independant artists can now upload their music on SMN. Joining is free so there is no reason not to stream your favourite Baron Zero track on your site, which would look like this:

BARON ZERO GOES DIGITAL: FIRST SALE ON THE NET

Nice one: I have made my first digital sale and now officially become a certified web 2.0 talent. No details  about who bough which track when where though. A shame, I would have been ready to send him/her a personalised thank you card !

PS: granted, becoming rich will  take some patience at 0.16$ a piece ...

ONE MORE STEP TOWARDS SUPER-STARDOM: COMPILATION CDs AND PODCASTS

I have really gotten into liking Fridays lately. And this one is turning up to be as enjoyable as last  week's.

First I faxed the contract back to VH1 to feature No Easy Way on their "Best song ever" podcast; and trust me, I will let the world know when and where it is available.

And second, I just receive 50 compilation CD of the "Battle of the Band II" with No easy Way as track No.10. Quite a nice feeling to hold this in my hands but what I'm going to do with all these CDs ? Anybody got an idea ?
