Hi Mark,

I tried clicking on the link you posted and I wasn't able to open it. Double check to see when you upload your music that you click on the "public" checkbox.

This is a common occurrence, nearly universal. The link must be published so that the "my/artist" portion of the string is replaced by the actual path. Please search the forums, there are several threads on how to share the link so that it works. As I said, a common occurrence. I think everybody does it the first time. ;)

The link works but the song..... I couldn't listen to the entire thing mostly due to the poor quality vocals - You will find the bar for Taxi Listings is much higher and if you are a non-singer it might be best to find someone to work with who can help with that element.

The instruments don't sound great either, the guitar sounds really fake like some sort of generic sample for example. I had a quick listen to your other songs on Soundcloud and they all sound like they are using the same low quality instrument source.

Unfortunately this is not up to the ' Broadcast Quality ' that you will see mentioned on every Listing, if you want an idea of what type of material is being forwarded and where the quality bar is you can check them out here:-

At the moment it sounds like you have a huge amount of work ahead of you to produce something licensable that might get you forwarded for an opportunity. Good Luck.

Mark
