Ron Suarez, Ph.D.’s Summary
Loud Feed's mission is to create a new middle class of musicians.
Loud Feed "Gets Your Music Heard" and provides tools for independent music labels and emerging artists to grow their business.
In 2007, Loud Feed provided consulting services to Tunecore.com and wrote the code which enables delivery of music and related metadata into Apple iTunes, Amazon MP3, Emusic.com, Rhapsody and other online retailers.
In 2008, Loud Feed is launching new products:
1) DIGITAL MUSIC STORE TOOLS AND WIDGETS
Loud Feed is launching both sales and promotional tools. On March 12, 2008 we will launch MyReggae.com with Gary Himelfarb of Tafari Music. Loud Feed is also releasing sales "widgets" that can easily be copied and pasted into blogs and web sites. Sales widgets are also available for signing up affiliate partners.
2) DIGITAL MUSIC PROMOTION TOOLS AND DIGITAL ALBUMS
Promotional widgets carry feeds of music data and metadata. Dick Huey of Toolshed.biz will also be using our newest tools in March 2008 for his digital media strategy consulting business. Gary Himelfarb and Dick Huey are both Sound Exchange Board members. We built the Toolshed.biz web site 2 years ago and since then have been creating new digital media promotional tools to make them available at low cost.
