Hello all,
As we're getting more artists joining the Vox community I thought it would be good to do a quick summary of what's required to make sure your music gets to us and is presented in the best possible way.
First of all, make sure you are in the A&R Group. This is essential. If you did not join via the Columbia or RCA entry page you will not have automatically been added to this group. To check simply click the 'Groups' link at the top of the page to see which groups you are a part of. If you are not a part of this group, simply click the link in this post and add yourself. This will ensure as you add music to your blog it's added to the group.
Next, upload music. Yes, it sounds quite simple but a lot of people are registering, then simply sending a private message with a link to another page with no actual details on their own blog. Uploading your music and other details into your page makes them easy for review by those within the label and wider community. It's a simple process, if you have problems getting your music online be sure to have a look at the Vox help section.
Write a post. If you're not wishing to regularly maintain a blog that's fine. However, it would be preferable if you could put details of yourself on the page, include pictures and video if you wish. This gives us at the label a much better idea of what you are like as an artist.
With regards to private messages to the label pages you are more than welcome to contact us. However, more recently we've experienced a high volume of messages. Many of which are simply 'check out my blog' which often prevent other queries and replies getting to us in reasonable time. If you've created your blog and are part of the A&R Group you music will be accessed and listened to those within the A&R community. If you have a query or following up on a recieved message and have waited a long time for a response please feel free to chase up with another message but please be aware we do receive lots of messages.
We have an email address for technical queries and help also which is onlinedemos@googlemail.com. This address is not for submissions via MP3, it's simple for technical queries, press enquries etc.
In the meantime we hope you have been enjoying using the service so far. If you have any suggestions improving the service please do get in touch. We're currently already working on a number of concepts suggested by the community.

Critics Choice
UK recorded music industry association, The BPI, unveiled today a brand new award category for the UK's biggest and most prestigious awards ceremony The BRIT Awards 2008 with MasterCard.
The 'Critics Choice' Award will focus on new British acts the critics are tipping to break through in 2008. The shortlist and eventual winner will be chosen by a team of experts made up of music critics from national newspapers, major music magazines and music websites as well as heads of music at major radio and TV stations. The 'Critics Choice' Award will be open to artists signed to a label who are set to release their debut albums in 2008.
Ged Doherty, Chairman of The BRITs Committee commented, "The BRITs continue their support for up and coming British talent by creating this new award. It's a fabulous idea and I can't wait to see who our panel of experts deem to be their choice for 2008."
BPI chief executive Geoff Taylor added: "The BRITs is a great platform to profile the pick of the past year's established and new artists to a wider domestic and international audience. This new category allows us to use the UK's premier music event to profile even more emerging UK talent."
The results for this award will be revealed exclusively on the new BRITs website (at www.brits.co.uk <http://www.brits.co.uk/> ), when it goes live on 10th December 2007.
Here, the BRIT Critics' tips for tomorrow will be unveiled, listing the top three artists or bands the critics are backing to break through in 2008 - as well as the overall winner - the BRIT Critics' Choice for 2008.
The Critics Choice Winner will collect their award at The BRITs main show, February 20 - live on ITV1 as well as perform live at the BRITs Nominations Launch Party. This year, the first hot ticket of the year, the BRITs Nominations Party, will be staged at London's Roundhouse in Camden on Monday, January 14 and broadcast on ITV2 at 8pm that same night.
In response to suggestions from the community (namely Kang and others), a couple of new elements have been added.
There is now a Calendar which anyone can add their gig dates to. No registration/log in is required. Simply add your details and everyone will be able to see when and where you are playing. So please take a look, see what you think.
Also, there were suggestions of a 'listened to' flag to show when Columbia/RCA/A&R have listened to a track. It's near impossible to give detailed comments on every track. But a simple when it was listened to and by who message seems like a good idea. So as of today I'm trying out something new that will generate a time stamp and signature as something is listened to by one of us. It's simply text at the moment but I will see if I can get some kind of embed graphic.
More details to follow.
