Switching digital distributors can feel terrifying — what if you lose your Spotify streams, your playlists, or your hard-earned momentum? In this episode, I walk you through exactly how I safely transferred one of my own tracks (with over 200,000 streams and dozens of playlist placements) from CD Baby to LANDR… without losing a single play. I'll share the simple 4-step process to move your release to a new distributor while keeping your existing ISRCs, metadata, and playlists intact. It's easier than you think — and yes, I tested it myself so you don't have to.

Brasiliens Präsident Lula da Silva will die Abholzung im Amazonas stoppen – und hat schon viel erreicht. Aber sein Projekt zum Ausbau der Bundesstraße BR-319, ein mögliches Einfallstor für Landräuber und Goldgräber, könnte diesem Ziel entgegenwirken.

“If you put your artists first and try to think about what would be the best thing for them, eventually your needs will get met.” What if a record label ignored the “industry rules,” bundled three unknown bands into a cassette box—and sold out? Presented by LANDR - http://landr.com/otherrecordlabels Todd White of King Volume Records joins Scott to share how his DIY indie-metal label went from a fun side project to his full-time job. We cover: The cassette bundle strategy that built early community Why Bandcamp is more valuable than chasing Spotify streams How to sign artists by putting their needs first The $150,000 Kickstarter success story and what made it work Why creative, imperfect marketing beats polished “content” This episode is packed with label-building breakthroughs, mindset shifts, and real tactics you can steal today.

Die Landkreise kritisieren die geplante Einführung einer neuen Grundsicherung als Ersatz für das Bürgergeld. Der Greizer Landrat Ulli Schäfer warnte vor mehr Bürokratie. Besser sei, gleich sanktionieren zu können.

«Equinor stiller med 96 lag til Energistafetten: Denne gjengen går for seieren», skrev Aftenbladet noen dager før stafetten. Noen dager senere sto de på pallen med pokalen over hodet. En stor suksess for laget, men en enda større suksess for bedriften.Av Equinors drøyt 4500 ansatte i Rogaland stilte nærmere 1000 til start da Energistafetten ble arrangert tidligere i år. Det er sterk bedriftskultur.I denne episoden tok vi turen til kontorene på Forus for å prate med lederen av Equinors bedriftsidrettslag, Sindre Ræstad, og medlem av vinnerlaget, Bjørn Landråk. Sammen gir de oss et innblikk i hvordan Equinor jobber med fysisk aktivitet internt.Vi snakker om hva som ligger bak engasjementet, hvilke gevinster de ser hos ansatte, og hvorfor dette handler om mer enn bare mosjon. Det handler om arbeidsmiljø, trivsel og fellesskap.Men vi ser også framover: Hva kan gjøres enda bedre? Hvordan kan man nå bredere ut, også til de som ikke allerede er aktive? Og hvordan kan man bygge en enda sterkere kultur for helse og bevegelse i en stor organisasjon?En stor takk til Equinor som åpnet dørene sine for oss, som delte om arbeidet internt hos energigiganten, og ikke minst som serverte Kalle vaniljekremfylte croissanter.God lytting!Podkasten er sponset av:

In this episode, Scott Orr explores The New Record Label Model—a way of running a label that's actually rooted in the oldest history of the music business. Presented by LANDR - [landr.com/otherrecordlabels] From early companies that sold machines first and music second, to today's indie labels building sustainable, multi-faceted businesses, Scott makes the case for why the healthiest, most innovative labels are no longer “just record labels.” Based on his new book Why We Still Need Record Labels, this episode is both a celebration and a roadmap for indie label owners who want to thrive in today's industry. GRAB THE NEW BOOK: http://geni.us/whyweneedrecordlabels

In NRW gibt es am 28. September 147 Stichwahlen - für Oberbürgermeister, Bürgermeister und Landräte. Abstimmen dürfen alle, die bereits im ersten Wahlgang wahlberechtigt waren. Sind die Stichwahlen eine gute Methode, um den Wählerwillen abzubilden - oder einfach nur überflüssig und teuer? Von Thilo Jahn.

Die Wahl von Bürgermeistern und Landräten, Stadt- oder Gemeinderäten sorgt selten für eine größere Aufmerksamkeit. In Nordrhein-Westfalen ist das diesmal anders. Wahlen sind immer auch eine Gelegenheit für die Wählerschaft, der Politik ihre Unzufriedenheit mitzuteilen. Und was im bevölkerungsreichsten Land in Deutschland passiert, ist immer wegweisend. Kann die AfD im Westen Fuß fassen? Verliert die SPD ihre Hochburgen? Funktioniert die Demokratie an der Basis noch richtig? Thomas Ihm diskutiert mit Prof. Dr. Norbert Kersting – Politikwissenschaftler, Universität Münster; Prof. Dr. Werner Patzelt – Politikwissenschaftler, Emeritus; Eva Quadbeck – Chefredakteurin RND

In Belarus startet Russland eine große Militärübung. In Nordrhein-Westfalen werden neue Bürgermeister und Landräte gewählt. Und in Berlin ist eine große Gaza-Demonstration geplant.

Am Sonntag sind hier in Nordrhein-Westfalen Kommunalwahlen. Das heißt, Bürgermeister und Stadträte, Landräte und Kreistage werden gewählt. Die Wahlkämpfe sind in diesen Bereichen manchmal friedlich, manchmal hitzig und oft komisch. Wenn plötzlich Bundesthemen im Wahlkampf besprochen werden oder Programme nur Sachen enthalten, die auf Landesebene gelöst werden, dann ist das echt ein bisschen wie: Thema verfehlt.Bei Kommunalwahlen geht es um kommunale Themen: Kitagebühren und Parkplätze, Schulneubauten und Erhalt von Schwimmbädern, Sicherheit und Ordnung im kommunalen Bereich und noch vieles mehr. Und da ist es klug, Leute zu wählen, die die Dinge anpacken und Lösungen suchen und Probleme angehen, die in den Dörfern und Städten, in den Land- und Stadtkreisen aktuell vorliegen.Und manchmal ist tatsächlich ein Wechsel gut. Manchmal der Person, die das leitende Amt hat oder haben soll, manchmal der Partei oder Gruppierung, die mitreden will. Aber es ist eigentlich unbestritten, dass es um Politik vor Ort geht und nicht um Hass und Hetze, weil man weder einen Plan noch geeignete Leute hat. Sorry, dass ich so direkt bin. Aber mir ist es zu wichtig, als dass ich da heute einfach drüber hinweggehen und am Montag dann nur konstatieren will, welche Ergebnisse es gibt.Schon im Alten Testament, beim Propheten Jeremia, lese ich einen bedeutsamen Satz. Er fordert die nach Babel verschleppten Juden auf: "Sucht der Stadt Bestes, dahin ich euch habe wegführen lassen, und betet für sie zum HERRN; denn wenn's ihr wohl geht, so geht's auch euch wohl." (Jeremia 29,7). Und das war an die Verschleppten nach Babel gerichtet.Um wieviel mehr sollten wir, die wir die Wahl haben, gut darüber nachdenken und am Ende die wählen, die der Stadt und des Dorfes Bestes wollen. Und trauen wir uns auch, um eine gute Wahl und der Stadt Bestes zu beten.

Die Basellandschaftliche Kantonalbank hat heute einen externen Bericht über die Hintergründe zum Radicant-Debakel veröffentlicht. Dieser zeigt die Mitschuld des Bankrats auf - lässt jedoch keine Rückschlüsse auf die Mitverantwortung der Politik zu. Landrätinnen und Landräte fordern nun eine PUK. Ausserdem: · Das Kantonsspital Baselland entwickelt gemeinsam mit der Krankenkasse Assura ein neues Versicherungsmodell, um Patientinnen und Patienten an das Kantonsspital zu binden · Ein Baselbieter Pfarrer wird zu einem Jahr bedingter Freihheitsstrafe und zwei Jahren auf Bewährung verurteilt wegen mehrfacher sexueller Handlungen mit Kindern und mehrfacher Pornografie · Wahlkampfauftakt der SVP: Caroline Mall will in die Baselbieter Regierung einziehen.

There's one record label the world doesn't have yet—the one only you can create. In this episode, I'll share why the most successful indie labels today are the ones that are hyper-specific, intentionally niched, and built around their founder's unique obsessions. You'll learn how to uncover the “secret ingredients” that make your label stand out—whether you're brand new or you've been running a label for years but still feel undefined. Presented by LANDR - [landr.com/otherrecordlabels] We'll explore how combining your unique passions—musical and non-musical—creates a one-of-a-kind identity for your label, and why being oddly specific is the best way to thrive in today's music industry. Plus, I'll talk about my new book Why We (Still) Need Record Labels (out this week!). If you've been waiting for a sign to finally start (or reimagine) your record label—this is it.

In today's episode, we're tackling a bold claim: record labels are obsolete. With home studios, DIY distribution, and powerful marketing tools, artists can now write, record, release, and promote their music all on their own. So… are labels officially irrelevant? Presented by LANDR [landr.com/otherrecordlabels] We break it down into three common reasons people say we don't need record labels anymore: Artists can do it all themselves. The old gatekeepers are gone. The art comes from artists, not labels. But here's the twist—just because artists can do everything doesn't mean they want to. Many crave teammates, collaborators, and communities that labels provide. And while the industry has changed, labels still offer something algorithms and DIY platforms can't: curation, creativity, and connection. Tune in as we explore why the role of labels may be shifting—not disappearing—and how indie labels can thrive in this new era of music.

Als gewaltige, alles mit sich reißende Flutwelle schoss die Ahr am 14. Juli 2021 durch das Tal. Sie zerstörte Häuser und Straßen, 134 Menschen verloren ihr Leben, tausende ihr Zuhause Innerhalb weniger Stunden verwandelte sich die malerische Region in ein Trümmerfeld. Vier Jahre später blicken wir zurück - und nach vorn. Wie geht es den Menschen? Was wurde aus den Versprechen der Politik? Wir sprechen mit der Landrätin von Ahrweiler Cornelia Weigand über die Flutnacht und den aktuellen Stand des Wiederaufbaus. Katharina Scharping, Psychiaterin in Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, erzählt uns wie die Ereignisse die Menschen auch vier Jahre später noch belasten. Außerdem sprechen wir mit Sören Ringel, der aktuell mit dem Fluthilfecamp “We AHR back” historische Bauten der Ahrregion wiederaufbaut. Gemeinsam mit Norbert Fischer vom Landesverband der Feuerwehr werfen wir außerdem einen Blick auf den Katastrophenschutz in Hessen und welche Lehren aus der Flut im Ahrtal gezogen wurden. Podcast-Tipp: nah dran - Flut in Texas: Katastrophe im Feriencamp Die Sturzflut in Texas hat das Ferienparadies "Camp Mystic" in ein Katastrophengebiet verwandelt. Über 120 Menschen sind bei der Flut insgesamt in Texas ums Leben gekommen. Das Ausmaß der Naturkatastrophe erinnert an die Ahrtal-Flut vor vier Jahren in Deutschland. Besonders im Fokus: Die Warnsysteme. Gab es Versäumnisse bei der Frühwarnung? Unsere ARD-Korrespondentin in Washington, Nina Barth, hat die Ereignisse in Texas intensiv verfolgt. Sie erklärt, warum dieses tragische Ausmaß der Flut in Texas hätte verhindert werden können und wer jetzt die Verantwortung übernimmt. Für „nah dran“ erzählen unsere Reporterinnen und Reporter jeden Freitag, was sie bei ihren Recherchen erlebt haben. Sie werfen einen Blick hinter die Nachrichten, hören Betroffenen zu und erleben selbst mit, wovon die meisten nur kurz in den wöchentlichen Schlagzeilen lesen. Näher ran als sie kommt keiner - egal ob im Ausland, in der Hauptstadt oder direkt vor unserer Tür in der Region. https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:be944392429a74c3/

Kürzlich kam es bei der Basellandschaftlichen Kantonalbank (BLKB) zum Knall. Die Bank musste 105 Millionen abschreiben, weil das Geschäft der Tochterfirma «Radicant» harzt. Im Zuge dessen haben zwei Bank-Chefs ihren Rücktritt bekannt gegeben, aber erst auf 2026. Zu langsam, findet die Politik. Ausserdem: - Nadine Jermann (FDP), will in Regierungsrat BL - Jugendkulturfestival mit vielen Anmeldungen - Sicherheit im Flugverkehr: Besuch bei Skyguide

Polen kontrolliert seit dieser Woche verstärkt an der Grenze zu Deutschland. In dieser Podcast-Folge kritisiert der Bürgermeister aus Wiesenburg/Mark in Brandenburg, Marco Beckendorf, die Kontrollen als "volkspolitischen Wahnsinn". Der Linken-Politiker warnt vor wirtschaftlichen Schäden. Der Landrat aus Thüringen, Christian Herrgott (CDU), sieht das anders. Für ihn sei es eine effektive Maßnahme, um die irreguläre Migration zu bekämpfen. Doch nicht nur in diesem Punkt sind sich die beiden Kommunalpolitiker uneinig. Beckendorf fordert ein Vetorecht bei Abschiebungen, Herrgott kritisiert den Vorschlag als Vorgehen "jenseits der regulären Verfahren". Wie kann der Umgang mit Migranten in Städten und Gemeinden gelingen? Dieser Schlagabtausch zeigt zwei konträre Standpunkte. Außerdem gibt Christian Herrgott einen Einblick, wie die Arbeitspflicht für Asylbewerber in seinem Saale-Orla-Kreis in Thüringen angelaufen ist. Er war einer der ersten Landräte in Deutschland, der diese vor einem Jahr eingeführt hat.

In this episode, I cautiously wade into the rapidly evolving world of AI and its growing presence in music. I've been hesitant to record this — not because the conversation isn't important, but because AI is changing so quickly, and I don't want to make predictions I'll regret. Still, it's time we talk about it. Presented by LANDR - http://otherrecordlabels.com/landr This isn't a rant or a warning — it's an open, honest reflection. I talk about the human tendency to rebel against convenience, why handmade art still matters, and how irrationality might just be our greatest strength in the age of artificial intelligence.  

In this episode, Scott chats with Ryan Magnole, founder of EveryDejaVu Records—a label that started as a blog and evolved into a trusted source for unique, left-field artists.

Release day isn't the finish line—it's the starting line. In this episode, we dig into why so many indie releases seem to fade the moment they drop, and how to flip that mindset. Think of your release campaign like a marathon: everything you did before the release was just training. Now it's time to run the race.

Our Chief Love Officer, Steve Harvey has advice for... Monique in Riverside – My husband and I sleep in separate beds because he sleeps with a C-Pap machine. He said I’m supposed to be with him through sickness and health but I need my rest so I am not sleeping with him. Am I going against my wedding vows?
