Quote:Btw, speaking about "having a clue", the screeners have nothing to do with writing the listings.As matto said, people need to understand that TAXI is presenting what was presented to them. (I know they try to get more info than that if they can)... TAXI can't give you information that was not provided to them in the first place.There is a tendency to think that the people who write listings actually always have a good handle on genres, artists, etc. Sometimes for film/TV, for example, the person writing the listing's job is not necessarily to know all about popular music. I have found quite a few times that they are not as knowledgeable as in an ideal world-- and it is not an ideal world.2 things: (1) Go with the flow and don't dream of that perfect world. Compare your songs to the suggested artists and see if you are in the ballpark. If not, don't submit.(2) With TAXI, you could at least call or email them and ask if they can get more information. They might not be able to, but it's worth a shot. Casey

It's sad when people give up their freedom to ask for quality service in what they pay for.If you think Jessica Simpson being listed under the Rock category is okay, then you are part of the problem. The music industy is a mess, it's pathetic and it doesn't need excuses. It needs honesty and fighter, not Uncle Toms.

Oh, and I forgot... if the music industry is a mess, TAXI can simply solve that problem... duh@me... Why didn't I just realize that?Casey

oh get over it. so not a big deal. heard of Gnarls Barkley? heard of M.I.A.? both are listed by genre by their labels in iTunes as Alternative but both are as far away from that as anything. yet you know their sound when you hear their name-- which is why names were provided in the listing.
