Helpful Reviewing Hints

Let the artist "pile up" in your reviewer's queue...

Reviewing new music can be a tedious process - not everyone's favorite
thing to do!  You're probably dreading wading through your pile of CD's
from fresh artists, most of which you probably can't use, but all of which
will beg you for a response ("did you get it???...did you like it???)

With our reviewer's system, you no longer have to dread watching as
your queue fills up.  First of all, there's a hell of a lot less CD's lying
around, now that you accept MPKs from MusicSUBMIT!   But did you know your New Artists for Review queue will hold the artist MPK for 60 days before dropping off? 

You don't need to login every day, or whenever a new artist hits your inbox. We suggest you let your queue get to 20+ artists before you review

if you're a selective music director or editor, you probably know in less than 30 seconds of song whether the music is for you.  With our easy system of streaming music, you'll blow through 20 or more artists before you know it!

Find one you like?  Click "Yes" to send them your Acceptance Letter. 

Not doing it for you?  Click "No" - the artist can't reach you to ask "why didn't you like it?
