how long do you expect a snippet cd to be? how much of each track? like a verse worth right? all right, well we are doing snippets this week and will be passing them out and mailign sum too. We will be at this weekends performances at 550 barveld on friday and mission rock on saturday. this shit is thrown by the done deal fam, so if u want to be there hit up chuck or hit me up too as i'm helpin promote this shit. if you want a snippet cd hit me up with the address!

peace

i want a cd

in my opinion; a snippet cd should be 7 to 14 tracks. the snippets should be at least 1 minute and 40 seconds to give the listener some time to get into it.

not to hate but, I feel that a snippet cd is not worth it. I would much rather have a sampler cd with a few full songs on it. that way you actually have something to play in your car and get into. a 1-2 minute song is too short and no matter how great it is, it is hard to get into.

really? i thought snippets cd's would serve the purpose. so you say, play like 6 entire songs? or what exactly was your idea for a sampler cd. thanks for the input homie

yeah like 4 or 5 full songs would be better than a full snippet cd IMO. snippets are something that should be for the internet. maybe other people would prefer snippets but that is just me.

especially if the snippets dont flow like a mix. it is tolerable if it is a mix with no breaks in between songs.

I think snippets are a good place to start. But people should consider just laying down 3-5 songs pro bono. We recently mailed out a CDr to about 100 people. I got nothing but positive feedback, the discs had from 3-5 songs on them (we mixed it up) and they were all full songs.
People who had already bought our album, I sent out 13 newer songs to, but 3 or 4 of them were snippets. I thin the big thing is that you have to convince people that you're better than just one good verse. After 3 or 4 songs people have an idea of how good you probably are or are not.

I just know that when I get a snippet CD, I am VERY quick with the eject button. I had to twist some of our artists arms to get them to understand that snippets are not going to get it done. What were they afraid of... the song being copied and burned. I had to convince them that they, as new artists, WANT the song copied and burned. Feel me. To each his own. I have seen bigger artists go the "full-song" route, too. Seems like 3 songs is the standard.

That sounds perfect! I'd start with the full tracks, then go into the snippets.
