Using Music on your website

We are going to develop a new website and we have seen other sites playing music on theirs.
What is the licence requrements to play music on your website. Do you need to obtain permission from the recording artists or studio. I have noticed you can play music on myspace..
thanks

You will need to ask permission from independant artist before using the music.
However it is a little more complex when getting the clear from ealready signed commercial artists as they have a few levels of ownership, publisher, composer, etc. It would most likely cost a few thousand for popular commercial songs and their prices differ base on market segments, geographic locations, usage, number of copies etc.
Your best bet would be to get unsigned artist (but a note of caution as they could be signed in the future with their works changing status from unpublished to published). Be sure to get some black and white from them. You know how it is as people to get greedy or rather they would have very little control over their music.
Alternatively would be to get royalty free music or other terms would be stock music. You can google it out and it usually cost about $30 from what I have seen. Some more some less. Be sure composers are not PRO signed else technically the music you buy is NOT royalty foyalty free. Many of these sites are submission based and don't control them well or some owners don't even know the issues with PROs. Be sure to do your homework.
There are some free music although not many around. Basically anyone allowing their music to be used royalty free music is not wanting any fame or fortune. It is basicaly a commodity like stock music. Solely for $ and not so much the art but do believe me that there are tonnes or very good high quality royalty free music around as a bad musician can't create something bad even if he tried.
Some free royalty free music I've found are from http://www.jewelbeat.com/, http://danasongs.com, http://www.incompetech.com/.
There are a few more but I can't remember.
Hope this helps.

  • How can we buy music off your website

    were having trouble picking out songs off your website can you help us(trouble buying music)

    Woman,
    The iTunes Store is not a website.  You can only purchase songs through the iTunes application.  If the application is not already on your computer, download it here.

  • Does anyone know how to use music transfered from another phone to the iphone as ringtones?

    Does anyone know how to use ringtones that I put on my iphone from my previous phone? It went in as music and now I cant use as ringtones and figure out how to put it as ringtones.

    Two ways to do this:
    Download an app, such as RMakerPro, which uses music on your phone to create ringtones.
    Plug in to iTunes and find where your ringtones are listed. Drag them to your desktop, and then you will need to change the file type to .m4r, which can be done at www.freefileconvert.com.

  • Adding dynamic images to your website using Dreamweaver

    Hi
    I've been working on a website which has been in use by public for some months now.
    I recently wanted to add a simple product catelogue.   I can do this just by creating my database connection and using the recordsets.
    However I wanted to add an image thumbnail to each product record.
    I found the above topic in the Adobe Help 'Adding dynamic images to your website using Dreamweaver'
    What I really would like to know is what exactly is put in the image_location field of the table, how is this field populated and then how to view the picture.
    I have tried, as per instructions, but the picture is not showing.
    I use php as I dont know coldfusion, but I'm sure the process must be pretty similar.
    If anyone can shed some light then that would be really appreciated.
    Many thanks liz

    As most anyone else will say, so I will say; *please don't
    start it
    automatically!*
    Playing music on a site is fine, but making it play
    automatically when you
    go to the site will alienate lots of people; especially those
    having a quick
    web surf at work or who have other music on whilst they're
    working.
    But back to your question; have a look at the XSPF music
    player
    http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/).
    It comes in different visual versions
    (can modify it with a bit of Flash knowledge), allows you to
    select
    different songs or just leave it looping, or you can just
    loop one song. And
    yes, you can make it start automatically.
    See
    http://www.blastoffmusic.org
    for an example of a christian site where it
    is used (on the inside pages)

  • Can Live Music from a website be relayed using the...

    I had a question If I log in to a Music site on N900, a website which plays live streaming Music and if i Wanna relay it to my Car Audio system using the FM Transmitter in the N900 can I do it ? Mind you it is a website which plays live music.

    Hey Augustya
    Yes it is possible.
    What I do is open the Mediabox player (yes media box) and from the top menu select FM transmitter & select the frequency & turn it on.
    Now without closing the mediabox, open your web browser. go to your web site and play the music. and there you go, it start transmitting. works perfectly fine with me.
    the only thing is that i haven't tried it using the media player but should work.
    Also why not try downloading the FM transmitter widget and turning it on and then play from your website. might work and will be easy.
    If you want me to, I can try doing the other two way and guide you through. just let me know.
    If works for you Kudos would be nice
    Hey As I said I dont have a car currently so cannot test it, But I am exploring this feature so that I can use it in future ...Right now can only ask and rely on others to see if it works... Sure plesae try it and tell me if it works.
    One more thing you said that you have tried it using the Media Box so when you say, you have not tried it using the Media player what does it mean ?is it something different that you are refering to here...You're saying you have already done it with Media Box right ?

    if you use iTunes match in order to create space and remove music from your hard drive, does that happen automatically when you subscribe and upload your music or is there another step to remove the music from your hard drive once you've uploaded to iTunes match?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    iTunes match won't automatically remove content from your computer, if you want to do that you will need to do it manually yourself.

  • How can i optimize my SEARCH ENGINE???I use godaddy.i contact them and they give me this conclusion:Search engines are not pulling up your other pages on your website because it is created with javascript. the content on the pages, (photo gallery.....

    conclusion from godaddy:
    Search engines are not pulling up your other pages on your website because it is created with javascript.
    the content on the pages, (photo gallery, My Recipes/Blog, History, Friends) need to be formatted to HTML, PHP or CSS. No search engines (google, Yahoo, Bing) can crawl//analyze webpages built with javascript.
    See if Apple allows iweb to create the pages in HTML format and ask how to make those changes.
    I spend more then 1 hour on the phone with them but we didn't find the solution...
    please i need help because like this nobody can rich my website...
    www.chefdiego.com
    thank you

    The part of iWeb pages that give the search engines problem is the navbar.  That's javascript based.  One way to get around that is to create another blank page in the site that's not  included in the navbar. 
    Add a text based navbar in that page with just the other pages in the site. 
    Also you can use that page for creating the sitemap for Google at Create your Google Sitemap Online - XML Sitemaps Generator.
    Have you let Google know your site exists? This website describes how to get it recognized: Get your iWeb website found in search engines like Google Yahoo MSN and Bing.

  • HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

    HOW TO PUBLISH YOUR WEBSITE ..FROM IWEB ..WHEN I USE TO USE MOBILE ME .. BUT NOW THERE IS NO MOBILE ME BECAUSE OF ICLOUD, AND ICLOUD DOESN'T SUPPORT IWEB PUBLISHING?

    When MobileMe goes down the drain, you will need to move your website to standard hosting. Depending on your site size, I recommend A Small Orange, as the Tiny hosting plan they have is big enough for most iWeb sites and much cheaper then shelling out $6 a month for most of the other big names, and if you check out their forum, several of the members have coupon codes in thier signatures. Also, their customer service is great and very fast in getting back to you.
    To upload, I publish the iWeb site to a folder, then using Cyberduck upload it to the host. Cyberduck beats iWeb's FTP uploader because Cyberduck only replaces updated pages, instead of uploading the entire site.
    I hope this helps!

    Hi eddpie,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    I personally would suggest the option to save your iTunes library to an external drive -- because it creates an important backup, and copies the library to your new computer.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527?viewlocale=en_US
    External drive
    This option requires more work than Home Sharing, but it creates a backup of your iTunes library on the external drive in addition to moving your content.
    Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats). Because of this, you can't use a Mac-formatted iPod or external drive to move your music to a Windows PC.
    Mac OS X can read Windows-formatted iPods and drives. This means there are many ways to migrate your information from your old Windows-based PC to your new Mac.
    Mac OS X: To be sure external drives appear on your desktop, choose Preferences from the Finder menu. Be sure the options for "External disks" and "Hard disks" are enabled.

    Part 2: Copy iTunes folder from the old computer:

    Part 4: Back up any music that's already on your new computer
    Part 5: Copy music to your new computer
    Part 6: Add preexisting music that was on the new computer back into the library
    I hope this information helps ....

  • Pros and cons of quicktime movie or YouTube on your website?

    Hello All,
    I want to add a short movie to my website and I have watched the tutorials on adding a quicktime movie and a YouTube movie to your website.
    However, they didn't say what the pros and cons were. Is it better to add a quicktime movie to your site or a link to YouTube.
    How easy or hard is it to add a link to Vimeo?
    Thanks for all your help and suggestions.
    Mike

    Hi Michael,
    The pros of hosting the movie yourself on your .me website is that you have control over the content in your movie; if you put copyrighted music in your video and upload it to youtube and they recognize it (and they usually do) no one will be able to view the video on youtube without being logged in to youtube as you.
    The cons are that if you upload movies to iweb, you'll be using some bandwidth every time someone watches it, and there is a limit to what is include with the mobile me subscription.
    Adding a youtube video embedded in your site is easy. Just use the HTML snippet (or did they update one just for you tube?) and copy the "embed" information from the file on you tube, and paste it in the html window. easy as pie.
    I don't know anything about "Vimeo" but any links are easy if you're leaving your site and sending a clicker to the page with what you want to show. Embedding is easy if they give you embed tools at the site you want to borrow from (like youtube does).
