Beady Beats Music was invited to participate in a pilot broadcast program on a new social media platform called dialog. The sponsorship paid a little coin and it was an opportunity to talk about what I love, the independent music business-The first 6 shows were made using the dialog platform-I decided make the recordings into a podcast so they can be available for future listening.On the the first show we discuss song rights, digital encoding, metadata, and sheltering the song with proper registrations.Hosted by Imiuswi Aboriginewww.imiuswi.comLike discussion and debate?
