We have a Mudcatters of Myspace going with lots of links already posted.

We'll end up with eight or ten of the stubbed concersations, if we're not careful!

Would you post your links to that thread also?

How many of you have myspace music accounts? I am working on putting one together and I have a couple of you but would love to check out more. The ones I have hear are great. I know there must be more of you out there that I would enjoy. If you don't want to post you myspace account please email me. I will post mine as soon as I get it going. I would really appreciate it and look foreward to hearing your music.

    I will try your suggestion then. Delete existing photo. Go back to WINDOWS Imaging. Re-orientate photo. Up-load anew. I shall try right now.

John down south: A bit of a guess on my part, but there should be a "rotate" function in the photo app. on your hard drive. Did you scan the photo? Maybe there. If you took the all digital route, go to the source and check the camera. The App in Mac is iPhoto. Test the Jpeg you create, to ensure it's upright, and upload to myspace. I don't think the problem is at myspace's end, but I'm not an expert...

you can find us (Barnsley Folk and Acoustic Night aka Barnsley Folk Club) herehttp://www.myspace.com/barnsleyfolkclub from whence you can find Padgett and myself


I'd echo the comments above - myspace is a useful tool - you have to put work in to get results out- most strangers will accept a friendship request so you have to post bulletins, write blogs, leave comments etc to remind them that you are still there (without becoming a pest!)

Yup - I'll agree to some of the above comments - you can't have two MySpace pages using the same email address - so I use my two freebies on hotmail and Yahoo for the purposes (two separate music accounts - one for me, and one set up for the new show ). I originally had a "vanilla" non-music space, and eventually got to transfer the email address across to the second music space (but only after the non-music one had been completely closed down)

If you want to keep both pages (I have two, one personal, one music) get a free e-mail address on Yahoo, Google or one of the other search engines that allows free sign-up, then use that as your primary e-mail for setting up the new page. That's the simplest thing to do. People who message you from the site will do so within MySpace and won't know your e-mail address unless you allow them to see it.

Hi All,
I am trying to set up a site so I can list a few of my songs, etc.
I have successfully set up the text info, but am having trouble adding my music.
When I try and sign-up as a musician (having already set up a page without music) it asks me to input an e-mail adddres, then when I put mine in - it says its already used!!
Do I have to scrap it all and start again - As a musician?

Help!

Brendy,

Just register as a musician, that way you can upload MP3s from your performers.......that is what most of us have done.

Drop me a PM if you get stuck at all.

Cheers

I've been looking around a few of the MySpace sites, above, and I notice that it is possible to make a site for Folk Clubs, and Festivals, etc. I have tried to sign up for a Folk Club/Festival site at MySpace, but only seem to get the option to sign up as a 'musician' or 'person'

Since a Festival doesn't have a gender, etc, can anyone point me to how I can register as a Club?
I've read through the online Help, but unless I'm totally missing something obvious, I can't find how one does this.

The Wigmore FC sounds a good idea - but I wonder why she says there are no folk clubs in Herefordshire - the last I heard there was one in Much Marcle ,and certainly one in Ledbury - don't know about the rest of the county though!!

Fidjit: "Of the other six festivals I contacted in December. I've not heard anything. I think December is too late." Surely if December is too late for 2008 isn't it nice and early for 2009??

Thanks for the kind words reggie. It's just that I've checked out a lot of these musicians and it would be a shame not to even try. And yes, it does take a lot of organization, work and tenacity. But did anything that was ever great come easy? If it did, everybody would be doing it. This is why the great ones are on the world stage, and the others are in the audience...

Hey bob, that was a great pep talk a few posts ago. You're certainly correct about the potential. It's unlimited. It also requires a great deal of work and know how. To even just begin to explore this single site (MySpace) it can easily take an enormous amount of time and energy out of a person's daily schedule and that's not even considering the many other sites there are out there to explore or how many more that may arise while you're looking around. The web is getting thick with them and each has the same potential to be a great stepping stone to establish yourself and your particular pursuit(s).

I admire your very proactive approach. It takes vision and persistence in every field of endeavor in order to succeed in reaching the personal goals we each set for ourselves.

All the best to you
