Dear Google, please let us know when you fix Chrome

November 3, 2015 by Guy Lewis

Chrome has been presented as a leading browser in today’s market yet is has continued to cause fundamental problems for many users, across all operating systems for many years now.

Whilst the issues are still ongoing with no clear bug fix in site the issues resolve around Chrome’s inability to play music or video streamed, or downloaded to play via a playlist.

The issues mainly focus around Chrome cutting the play of a stream, or stopping playing a playlist some way through.

Whilst this issue may have been tracked down if it was on one operating system (we had thought at one stage it was isolated to Windows 7) it actually occurs across all operating systems we have tested.

We know Firefox works perfectly well as does Safari so for all out customers looking to just stream from an existing laptop or computer, as long as you have good bandwidth and an idle computer then you will be fine. For better performance you will always find our download and play system avoids local and wide network congestion issues.

So please, Google, just let us know when you have fixed your issues and joined the rest of the leading browsers which are providing a great way to play music today.

Offering businesses a complete media solution for their needs

June 19, 2015 by Guy Lewis

Managing traditional multiple music licenses, per location with varying location needs is costly, complex and takes a lot of time management.

I recently was in discussion with a number of artists about how they felt that they were gaining little for their music when licensed at some locations online.

I believe the way forward, and what is more useful for businesses needing music, is to have all resources integral to a production process.

So, for example, take a business niche that is looking to promote themselves online

They would need a range of content and help to get a promotion completed. Rather than looking out across the internet for all the components from a range of sources, if they could create the work more effectively without having to search for each component thus avoiding time searching through the different libraries (in this case) and different ways of purchasing.

Whilst businesses such as AudioBlocks ($99 for unlimited downloads) and even small TV channels now using royalty free music I believe there are some opportunities to make repeatable earnings from content artists can produce by leaving the commodity side of the business to race itself to the bottom and go the route of offering higher value services for which music licensing is part of the whole solution to businesses.

Black Friday Looming; How Are You Going To Relax Your Customers?

November 24, 2014 by Guy Lewis

How will you relax your customers as they browse?

With Black Friday looming within a few days most consumer focused businesses are wondering how to not only maximise sales revenue but also to quite simply survive the day!

As we all know, consumers will be tense, they now have their last pay packet in their bank before the last few days of Christmas and they have a lot to do to be prepared. There are only two routes, get ahead of the crowd or be one of the last and gather up what is left on the shelves at the last moment.

We do put a lot of tension on ourselves to provide a great Christmas for all our loved ones and so helping consumers through Black Friday and the subsequent weekends is going to make a real difference to how well your business performs.

With some businesses finding that that the festive season accounts for as much as a third of their annual income it’s clear to see how critical these few days are within the year.

So with the understanding that relaxed customers will stay longer and are more likely to spend more in your business it is critical you provide relaxing music that evokes calm in your customers. Festive music is likely to get them in the mood for Christmas but if you play the same tracks they have heard in every store they have visited they maybe inspired to spend less time in yours.

With Melodypods, you can mix festive music with relaxing music. You can even choose relaxing festive music to play just for the festive period.

Download and play royalty free background music from Melody Pods ready for Black Friday and the festive season today.
