Thanks for THAT tip----I'm sure I wouldn't have thought about that...I'll amend any long titles....

However, there is a slightly less easy problem to overcome. People searching will not be aware of your band's name nor the titles of each track. To get some hits, you'll have to include a music classification in the tag. You'll have to decide whether you're "alternative" or "inde" or whatever you think people might use to search on a generic basis. Then, with luck, those people will download some of your tracks out of curiosity and you'll get some buzz.

Shouldn't be hard to do---I certainly "know" our material! Also, interestingly, I've been shocked, surprised, delighted and occasionally disgusted (!) by the variety of things that come up in a simple search for a song title! So---I figure there's some form of the same word in there somewhere, or just maybe little gremlins having a good time hiding in the limewires, drinkin' their life away and adding in the random tune here and there!
------------------
You were right----haven't managed to talk to many artists here, as I'd hoped! But we've sold a lot of CD's, so there's a lotta ways stuff would end up being shared anyway---so what the heck! Might find a fan or two...
I've downloaded a LOT of stuff by artists I don't know...and have sought them out and even bought a couple! (Ouch---there goes the grocery money.)
Thanks for the welcome back---I ain't outta your hair YET!
Be sure in a few days to search for "Crazed Cowboys"----see what you think...or of course, visit our site
http://www.crazedcowboys.com (it's a mess, but I'm working on it)
Thanks, my friend---
Paula
