How do I make a private album/showreel?
This blog entry is lifted from our 'Tips & Tricks' page. It could probably use a little more exposure:
Firstly, it must be said that we don't know of any place on this marvellous new-fangled thingy called the World Wide Web where artists can share their stuff with fellow artists and friends without jumping through a whole lot of hoops. Sure, you can send them an e-mail with the tracks attached, but you have to send the e-mail to everyone you think might be interested, and then they're in possession of the actual tracks. But suppose you don't want these particular tracks to get out into the wild; you only want to stream the tracks to give folks a listen? Well, semisolidradio has you covered.
On the site using our already existing tools, you simply create a new album to hold the tracks you want to share, and assign it a 'private key' that you e-mail to selected people. At first we were thinking of auto-generating the key, but really now: you must admit that "aBfQ179wevn" isn't quite as catchy or easy to remember as "IansDemo7956". So you get to define the key. But there's more...
If you want people to be able to physically download a track, just untick the 'Stream Only' box on the track. Furthermore, if you've already created approved content on our site (so we trust you), the private page is automatically white-listed as soon as you create it and goes live without needing an administrator to review it. But of course, it's only visible to people you supply the key to.
Finally, if you decide this stuff you put up there is da biz and you want to publish it on the site for all to see, well... just remove the private key, save off the page again and shoot an e-mail to: info@semisolidradio.com. Actually, if the tracks on the private page were already active, no further action is required. But if they weren't active yet, we need to make them so, and then they'll appear in the site's playlist. And that's it.
